Constructors
EVPPKey
explicit EVPPKey(
const std::string & ecCurveName
);
Constructs EVPPKey from ECC curve name.
Only EC keys can be wrapped by an EVPPKey created using this constructor.
EVPPKey
explicit EVPPKey(
const char * ecCurveName
);
Constructs EVPPKey from ECC curve name.
Only EC keys can be wrapped by an EVPPKey created using this constructor.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
const X509Certificate & cert
);
Constructs EVPPKey from the given certificate.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
const PKCS12Container & cert
);
Constructs EVPPKey from the given container.
EVPPKey
explicit EVPPKey(
EVP_PKEY * pEVPPKey
);
Constructs EVPPKey from EVP_PKEY pointer. The content behind the supplied pointer is internally duplicated.
EVPPKey 
template < typename K > explicit EVPPKey(
K * pKey
);
Constructs EVPPKey from a "native" OpenSSL (RSA or EC_KEY), or a Poco wrapper (RSAKey, ECKey) key pointer.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
const EVPPKey & other
);
Copy constructor.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
EVPPKey && other
) noexcept;
Move constructor.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
int type,
int param
);
Creates the EVPPKey. Creates a new public/private keypair using the given parameters. Can be used to sign data and verify signatures.
Suported types:
- EVP_PKEY_RSA
- EVP_PKEY_EC
Parameters:
- for EVP_PKEY_RSA: key length in bits
- for EVP_PKEY_EC: curve NID
This constructor is not available for OpenSSL version < 1.0.0
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
const std::string & publicKeyFile,
const std::string & privateKeyFile,
const std::string & privateKeyPassphrase = ""
);
Creates the EVPPKey, by reading public and private key from the given files and using the given passphrase for the private key. Can only by used for signing if a private key is available.
EVPPKey
EVPPKey(
std::istream * pPublicKeyStream,
std::istream * pPrivateKeyStream,
const std::string & privateKeyPassphrase = ""
);
Creates the EVPPKey. Can only by used for signing if pPrivKey is not null. If a private key file is specified, you don't need to specify a public key file. OpenSSL will auto-create it from the private key.
EVPPKey
explicit EVPPKey(
const std::vector < unsigned char > * publicKey,
const std::vector < unsigned char > * privateKey,
unsigned long exponent,
int type
);
Destructor
~EVPPKey
~EVPPKey();
Destroys the EVPPKey.
Member Functions
duplicate 
static EVP_PKEY * duplicate(
const EVP_PKEY * pFromKey,
EVP_PKEY * * pToKey
);
Duplicates pFromKey into *pToKey and returns the pointer to duplicated EVP_PKEY.
isSupported
bool isSupported(
int type
) const;
Returns true if OpenSSL type is supported
name
const std::string & name() const;
Retuns the EVPPKey name.
operator !=
bool operator != (
const EVPPKey & other
) const;
Comparison operator. Returns true if public key components and parameters of the other key are different from this key.
Works as expected when one key contains only public key, while the other one contains private (thus also public) key.
operator =
EVPPKey & operator = (
const EVPPKey & other
);
Assignment operator.
operator =
EVPPKey & operator = (
EVPPKey && other
) noexcept;
Assignment move operator.
operator ==
bool operator == (
const EVPPKey & other
) const;
Comparison operator. Returns true if public key components and parameters of the other key are equal to this key.
Works as expected when one key contains only public key, while the other one contains private (thus also public) key.
operator EVP_PKEY *
operator EVP_PKEY * ();
Returns pointer to the OpenSSL EVP_PKEY structure.
operator const EVP_PKEY *
operator const EVP_PKEY * () const;
Returns const pointer to the OpenSSL EVP_PKEY structure.
save
void save(
const std::string & publicKeyFile,
const std::string & privateKeyFile = "",
const std::string & privateKeyPassphrase = ""
) const;
Exports the public and/or private keys to the given files.
If an empty filename is specified, the corresponding key is not exported.
save
void save(
std::ostream * pPublicKeyStream,
std::ostream * pPrivateKeyStream = 0,
const std::string & privateKeyPassphrase = ""
) const;
Exports the public and/or private key to the given streams.
If a null pointer is passed for a stream, the corresponding key is not exported.
type
int type() const;
Retuns the EVPPKey type NID.
