The \fBX25519\fR and <X448> keytype and its parameters are described in
\&\fBEVP_PKEY\-X25519\fR\|(7).
See \fBEVP_PKEY_encapsulate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_decapsulate\fR\|(3) for more info.

The OpenSSL X25519 and X448 Key Encapsulation Mechanisms only support 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 X25519 or X448 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.

Used to specify the key material used for generation of the ephemeral key.
This value should not be reused for other purposes.
It should have a length of at least 32 for X25519, and 56 for X448.
If this value is not set, then a random ikm is used.
