=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_encapsulate
- Key encapsulation using a KEM algorithm with a public key

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY *authpriv,
                                   const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
                          unsigned char *wrappedkey, size_t *wrappedkeylen,
                          unsigned char *genkey, size_t *genkeylen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
context I<ctx> for an encapsulation operation and then sets the I<params>
on the context in the same way as calling L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
Note that I<ctx> is usually is produced using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(3)>,
specifying the public key to use.

The EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init() function is similar to
EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() but also passes an I<authpriv> authentication private
key that is used during encapsulation.

The EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() function performs a public key encapsulation
operation using I<ctx>.
The symmetric secret generated in I<genkey> can be used as key material.
The ciphertext in I<wrappedkey> is its encapsulated form, which can be sent
to another party, who can use L<EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(3)> to retrieve it
using their private key.
If I<wrappedkey> is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer
is written to the I<*wrappedkeylen> parameter unless I<wrappedkeylen> is NULL
and the maximum size of the generated key buffer is written to I<*genkeylen>
unless I<genkeylen> is NULL.
If I<wrappedkey> is not NULL and the call is successful then the
internally generated key is written to I<genkey> and its size is written to
I<*genkeylen>. The encapsulated version of the generated key is written to
I<wrappedkey> and its size is written to I<*wrappedkeylen>.

=head1 NOTES

After the call to EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init() algorithm-specific parameters
for the operation may be set or modified using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(), EVP_PKEY_auth_encapsulate_init() and
EVP_PKEY_encapsulate() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for
failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not
supported by the public key algorithm.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Encapsulate an RSASVE key (for RSA keys).

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 /*
  * NB: assumes rsa_pub_key is an public key of another party.
  */

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
 size_t secretlen = 0, outlen = 0;
 unsigned char *out = NULL, *secret = NULL;

 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_pub_key, NULL);
 if (ctx = NULL)
     /* Error */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate_init(ctx, NULL) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
  if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
     /* Error */
 /* Determine buffer length */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, NULL, &outlen, NULL, &secretlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 out = OPENSSL_malloc(outlen);
 secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
 if (out == NULL || secret == NULL)
     /* malloc failure */

 /*
  * The generated 'secret' can be used as key material.
  * The encapsulated 'out' can be sent to another party who can
  * decapsulate it using their private key to retrieve the 'secret'.
  */
 if (EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(ctx, out, &outlen, secret, &secretlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */
