.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \s-1PEM\s0 functions read or write structures in \s-1PEM\s0 format. In
this sense \s-1PEM\s0 format is simply base64 encoded data surrounded
by header lines.
.PP
For more details about the meaning of arguments see the
\&\fB\s-1PEM\s0 \s-1FUNCTION\s0 \s-1ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section.
.PP
Each operation has four functions associated with it. For
brevity the term "\fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR functions" will be used below to collectively
refer to the \fIPEM_read_bio_TYPE()\fR, \fIPEM_read_TYPE()\fR,
\&\fIPEM_write_bio_TYPE()\fR, and \fIPEM_write_TYPE()\fR functions.
.PP
The \fBPrivateKey\fR functions read or write a private key in \s-1PEM\s0 format using an
\&\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 structure. The write routines use PKCS#8 private key format and are
equivalent to \fIPEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey()\fR.The read functions transparently
handle traditional and PKCS#8 format encrypted and unencrypted keys.
.PP
\&\fIPEM_write_bio_PrivateKey_traditional()\fR writes out a private key in the
\&\*(L"traditional\*(R" format with a simple private key marker and should only
be used for compatibility with legacy programs.
.PP
\&\fIPEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey()\fR and \fIPEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey()\fR write a private
key in an \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 structure in PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format using
PKCS#5 v2.0 password based encryption algorithms. The \fBcipher\fR argument
specifies the encryption algorithm to use: unlike some other \s-1PEM\s0 routines the
encryption is applied at the PKCS#8 level and not in the \s-1PEM\s0 headers. If
\&\fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then no encryption is used and a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo
structure is used instead.
.PP
\&\fIPEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid()\fR and \fIPEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid()\fR
also write out a private key as a PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo however
it uses PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 encryption algorithms instead. The algorithm
to use is specified in the \fBnid\fR parameter and should be the \s-1NID\s0 of the
corresponding \s-1OBJECT\s0 \s-1IDENTIFIER\s0 (see \s-1NOTES\s0 section).
.PP
The \fB\s-1PUBKEY\s0\fR functions process a public key using an \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0
structure. The public key is encoded as a SubjectPublicKeyInfo
structure.
.PP
The \fBRSAPrivateKey\fR functions process an \s-1RSA\s0 private key using an
\&\s-1RSA\s0 structure. The write routines uses traditional format. The read
routines handles the same formats as the \fBPrivateKey\fR
functions but an error occurs if the private key is not \s-1RSA\s0.
.PP
The \fBRSAPublicKey\fR functions process an \s-1RSA\s0 public key using an
\&\s-1RSA\s0 structure. The public key is encoded using a PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey
structure.
.PP
The \fB\s-1RSA_PUBKEY\s0\fR functions also process an \s-1RSA\s0 public key using
an \s-1RSA\s0 structure. However, the public key is encoded using a
SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure and an error occurs if the public
key is not \s-1RSA\s0.
.PP
The \fBDSAPrivateKey\fR functions process a \s-1DSA\s0 private key using a
\&\s-1DSA\s0 structure. The write routines uses traditional format. The read
routines handles the same formats as the \fBPrivateKey\fR
functions but an error occurs if the private key is not \s-1DSA\s0.
.PP
The \fB\s-1DSA_PUBKEY\s0\fR functions process a \s-1DSA\s0 public key using
a \s-1DSA\s0 structure. The public key is encoded using a
SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure and an error occurs if the public
key is not \s-1DSA\s0.
.PP
The \fBParameters\fR functions read or write key parameters in \s-1PEM\s0 format using
an \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 structure. The encoding depends on the type of key; for \s-1DSA\s0 key
parameters, it will be a Dss-Parms structure as defined in \s-1RFC2459\s0, and for \s-1DH\s0
key parameters, it will be a PKCS#3 DHparameter structure. \fIThese functions
only exist for the \f(BI\s-1BIO\s0\fI type\fR.
.PP
The \fBDSAparams\fR functions process \s-1DSA\s0 parameters using a \s-1DSA\s0
structure. The parameters are encoded using a Dss-Parms structure
as defined in \s-1RFC2459\s0.
.PP
The \fBDHparams\fR functions process \s-1DH\s0 parameters using a \s-1DH\s0
structure. The parameters are encoded using a PKCS#3 DHparameter
structure.
.PP
The \fBX509\fR functions process an X509 certificate using an X509
structure. They will also process a trusted X509 certificate but
any trust settings are discarded.
.PP
The \fBX509_AUX\fR functions process a trusted X509 certificate using
an X509 structure.
.PP
The \fBX509_REQ\fR and \fBX509_REQ_NEW\fR functions process a PKCS#10
certificate request using an X509_REQ structure. The \fBX509_REQ\fR
write functions use \fB\s-1CERTIFICATE\s0 \s-1REQUEST\s0\fR in the header whereas
the \fBX509_REQ_NEW\fR functions use \fB\s-1NEW\s0 \s-1CERTIFICATE\s0 \s-1REQUEST\s0\fR
(as required by some CAs). The \fBX509_REQ\fR read functions will
handle either form so there are no \fBX509_REQ_NEW\fR read functions.
.PP
The \fBX509_CRL\fR functions process an X509 \s-1CRL\s0 using an X509_CRL
structure.
.PP
The \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR functions process a PKCS#7 ContentInfo using a \s-1PKCS7\s0
structure.
.SH "PEM FUNCTION ARGUMENTS"
.IX Header "PEM FUNCTION ARGUMENTS"
The \s-1PEM\s0 functions have many common arguments.
.PP
The \fBbp\fR \s-1BIO\s0 parameter (if present) specifies the \s-1BIO\s0 to read from
or write to.
.PP
The \fBfp\fR \s-1FILE\s0 parameter (if present) specifies the \s-1FILE\s0 pointer to
read from or write to.
.PP
The \s-1PEM\s0 read functions all take an argument \fB\s-1TYPE\s0 **x\fR and return
a \fB\s-1TYPE\s0 *\fR pointer. Where \fB\s-1TYPE\s0\fR is whatever structure the function
uses. If \fBx\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the parameter is ignored. If \fBx\fR is not
\&\s-1NULL\s0 but \fB*x\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the structure returned will be written
to \fB*x\fR. If neither \fBx\fR nor \fB*x\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then an attempt is made
to reuse the structure at \fB*x\fR (but see \s-1BUGS\s0 and \s-1EXAMPLES\s0 sections).
Irrespective of the value of \fBx\fR a pointer to the structure is always
returned (or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred).
.PP
The \s-1PEM\s0 functions which write private keys take an \fBenc\fR parameter
which specifies the encryption algorithm to use, encryption is done
at the \s-1PEM\s0 level. If this parameter is set to \s-1NULL\s0 then the private
key is written in unencrypted form.
.PP
The \fBcb\fR argument is the callback to use when querying for the pass
phrase used for encrypted \s-1PEM\s0 structures (normally only private keys).
.PP
For the \s-1PEM\s0 write routines if the \fBkstr\fR parameter is not \s-1NULL\s0 then
\&\fBklen\fR bytes at \fBkstr\fR are used as the passphrase and \fBcb\fR is
ignored.
.PP
If the \fBcb\fR parameters is set to \s-1NULL\s0 and the \fBu\fR parameter is not
\&\s-1NULL\s0 then the \fBu\fR parameter is interpreted as a null terminated string
to use as the passphrase. If both \fBcb\fR and \fBu\fR are \s-1NULL\s0 then the
default callback routine is used which will typically prompt for the
passphrase on the current terminal with echoing turned off.
.PP
The default passphrase callback is sometimes inappropriate (for example
in a \s-1GUI\s0 application) so an alternative can be supplied. The callback
routine has the following form:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& int cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *u);
.Ve
.PP
\&\fBbuf\fR is the buffer to write the passphrase to. \fBsize\fR is the maximum
length of the passphrase (i.e. the size of buf). \fBrwflag\fR is a flag
which is set to 0 when reading and 1 when writing. A typical routine
will ask the user to verify the passphrase (for example by prompting
for it twice) if \fBrwflag\fR is 1. The \fBu\fR parameter has the same
value as the \fBu\fR parameter passed to the \s-1PEM\s0 routine. It allows
arbitrary data to be passed to the callback by the application
(for example a window handle in a \s-1GUI\s0 application). The callback
\&\fBmust\fR return the number of characters in the passphrase or \-1 if
an error occurred.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The old \fBPrivateKey\fR write routines are retained for compatibility.
New applications should write private keys using the
\&\fIPEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey()\fR or \fIPEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey()\fR routines
because they are more secure (they use an iteration count of 2048 whereas
the traditional routines use a count of 1) unless compatibility with older
versions of OpenSSL is important.
.PP
The \fBPrivateKey\fR read routines can be used in all applications because
they handle all formats transparently.
.PP
A frequent cause of problems is attempting to use the \s-1PEM\s0 routines like
this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& X509 *x;
\&
\& PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, &x, 0, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
this is a bug because an attempt will be made to reuse the data at \fBx\fR
which is an uninitialised pointer.
.PP
These functions make no assumption regarding the pass phrase received from the
password callback.
It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.
.SH "PEM ENCRYPTION FORMAT"
.IX Header "PEM ENCRYPTION FORMAT"
These old \fBPrivateKey\fR routines use a non standard technique for encryption.
.PP
The private key (or other data) takes the following form:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-
\& Proc\-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
\& DEK\-Info: DES\-EDE3\-CBC,3F17F5316E2BAC89
\&
\& ...base64 encoded data...
\& \-\-\-\-\-END RSA PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-
.Ve
.PP
The line beginning with \fIProc-Type\fR contains the version and the
protection on the encapsulated data. The line beginning \fIDEK-Info\fR
contains two comma separated values: the encryption algorithm name as
used by \fIEVP_get_cipherbyname()\fR and an initialization vector used by the
cipher encoded as a set of hexadecimal digits. After those two lines is
the base64\-encoded encrypted data.
.PP
The encryption key is derived using \fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR. The cipher's
initialization vector is passed to \fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR as the \fBsalt\fR
parameter. Internally, \fB\s-1PKCS5_SALT_LEN\s0\fR bytes of the salt are used
(regardless of the size of the initialization vector). The user's
password is passed to \fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR using the \fBdata\fR and \fBdatal\fR
parameters. Finally, the library uses an iteration count of 1 for
\&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR.
.PP
The \fBkey\fR derived by \fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR along with the original initialization
vector is then used to decrypt the encrypted data. The \fBiv\fR produced by
\&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR is not utilized or needed, and \s-1NULL\s0 should be passed to
the function.
.PP
The pseudo code to derive the key would look similar to:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_CIPHER* cipher = EVP_des_ede3_cbc();
\& EVP_MD* md = EVP_md5();
\&
\& unsigned int nkey = EVP_CIPHER_key_length(cipher);
\& unsigned int niv = EVP_CIPHER_iv_length(cipher);
\& unsigned char key[nkey];
\& unsigned char iv[niv];
\&
\& memcpy(iv, HexToBin("3F17F5316E2BAC89"), niv);
\& rc = EVP_BytesToKey(cipher, md, iv /*salt*/, pword, plen, 1, key, NULL /*iv*/);
\& if (rc != nkey)
\& /* Error */
\&
\& /* On success, use key and iv to initialize the cipher */
.Ve
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
The \s-1PEM\s0 read routines in some versions of OpenSSL will not correctly reuse
an existing structure. Therefore, the following:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, &x, 0, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
where \fBx\fR already contains a valid certificate, may not work, whereas:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& X509_free(x);
\& x = PEM_read_bio_X509(bp, NULL, 0, NULL);
.Ve
.PP
is guaranteed to work.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The read routines return either a pointer to the structure read or \s-1NULL\s0
if an error occurred.
.PP
The write routines return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Although the \s-1PEM\s0 routines take several arguments in almost all applications
most of them are set to 0 or \s-1NULL\s0.
.PP

The old Netscape certificate sequences were no longer documented
in OpenSSL 1.1.0; applications should use the \s-1PKCS7\s0 standard instead
as they will be formally deprecated in a future releases.
