.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key()\fR can be used to set the public key value
within an existing EVP_PKEY object. For the built-in OpenSSL algorithms this
currently only works for those that support key exchange. Parameters are not
set as part of this operation, so typically an application will create an
EVP_PKEY first, set the parameters on it, and then call this function.
For example setting the parameters might be done using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_copy_parameters\fR\|(3).
.PP
The format for the encoded public key will depend on the algorithm in use. For
DH it should be encoded as a positive integer in big-endian form. For EC is
should be a point conforming to Sec. 2.3.4 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic
Curve Cryptography") standard. For X25519 and X448 it should be encoded in a
format as defined by RFC7748.
.PP
The key to be updated is supplied in \fBpkey\fR. The buffer containing the encoded
key is pointed to be \fBpub\fR. The length of the buffer is supplied in \fBpublen\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key()\fR does the equivalent operation except that
the encoded public key is returned to the application. The key containing the
public key data is supplied in \fBpkey\fR. A buffer containing the encoded key will
be allocated and stored in \fB*ppub\fR. The length of the encoded public key is
returned by the function. The application is responsible for freeing the
allocated buffer.
.PP
The macro \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_tls_encodedpoint()\fR is deprecated and simply calls
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key()\fR with all the same arguments. New applications
should use \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key()\fR instead.
.PP
The macro \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_tls_encodedpoint()\fR is deprecated and simply calls
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key()\fR with all the same arguments. New applications
should use \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key()\fR instead.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 or a negative
value for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key()\fR returns the length of the encoded key or 0 for failure.

performing a key exchange operation.
