.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBEC\fR keytype and its parameters are described in \fBEVP_PKEY\-EC\fR\|(7).
See \fBEVP_PKEY_encapsulate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_decapsulate\fR\|(3) for more info.

The OpenSSL EC Key Encapsulation Mechanisms only supports the
following operation:
.RS 4
.IP """DHKEM"" (\fBOSSL_KEM_PARAM_OPERATION_DHKEM\fR)" 4
.IX Item """DHKEM"" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_OPERATION_DHKEM)"
The encapsulate function generates an ephemeral keypair. It produces keymaterial
by doing an ECDH key exchange using the ephemeral private key and a supplied
recipient public key. A HKDF operation using the keymaterial and a kem context
then produces a shared secret. The shared secret and the ephemeral public key
are returned.
The decapsulate function uses the recipient private key and the
ephemeral public key to produce the same keymaterial, which can then be used to
produce the same shared secret.
See <https://www.rfc\-editor.org/rfc/rfc9180.html#name\-dh\-based\-kem\-dhkem>

This can be set using either \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op()\fR or
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params()\fR.

.IP """ikme"" (\fBOSSL_KEM_PARAM_IKME\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """ikme"" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_IKME) <octet string>"
Used to specify the key material used for generation of the ephemeral key.
This value should not be reused for other purposes.
It can only be used for the curves "P\-256", "P\-384" and "P\-521" and should
have a length of at least the size of the encoded private key
(i.e. 32, 48 and 66 for the listed curves).
If this value is not set, then a random ikm is used.
