NAME
EVP_KEM-RSA - EVP_KEM RSA keytype and algorithm support
DESCRIPTION
The RSA keytype and its parameters are described in EVP_PKEY-RSA(7). See EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(3) and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(3) for more info.
RSA KEM parameters
- "operation" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_OPERATION) <UTF8 string>
- The OpenSSL RSA Key Encapsulation Mechanism only currently supports the following default operation (operating mode):
- "RSASVE"
- The encapsulate function simply generates a secret using random bytes and then encrypts the secret using the RSA public key (with no padding). The decapsulate function recovers the secret using the RSA private key.
This can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op().
- "fips-indicator" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>
- "key-check" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>
- These parameters are described in provider-kem(7).
CONFORMING TO
- SP800-56Br2
- Section 7.2.1.2 RSASVE Generate Operation (RSASVE.GENERATE). Section 7.2.1.3 RSASVE Recovery Operation (RSASVE.RECOVER).

HISTORY
This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
The "operation" (operating mode) was a required parameter prior to OpenSSL 3.5. As of OpenSSL 3.5, "RSASVE" is the default operating mode, and no explicit value need be specified.
