OSSL_PROVIDER−base − OpenSSL base provider
The OpenSSL base provider supplies the encoding for OpenSSL’s asymmetric cryptography.
The
implementations in this provider specifically have this
property defined:
"provider=base"
It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions.
It isn’t
mandatory to query for this property, except to make sure to
get implementations of this provider and none other.
"type=parameters"
"type=private"
"type=public"
These may be
used in a property query string with fetching functions to
select which data are to be encoded. Either the private key
material, the public key material or the domain parameters
can be selected.
"format=der"
"format=pem"
"format=text"
These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to select the encoding output format. Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are currently permitted.
The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms:
In addition to
"provider=base", some of these encoders define the
property "fips=yes", to allow them to be used
together with the FIPS provider.
