.SH NAME
EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init, EVP_PKEY_encrypt \- encrypt using a public key algorithm
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/evp.h>
\&
\& int EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
\& int EVP_PKEY_encrypt(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
\&                        unsigned char *out, size_t *outlen,
\&                        const unsigned char *in, size_t inlen);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt_init()\fR function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key \fBpkey\fR for an encryption operation.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt()\fR function performs a public key encryption operation
using \fBctx\fR. The data to be encrypted is specified using the \fBin\fR and
\&\fBinlen\fR parameters. If \fBout\fR is \fBNULL\fR then the maximum size of the output
buffer is written to the \fBoutlen\fR parameter. If \fBout\fR is not \fBNULL\fR then
before the call the \fBoutlen\fR parameter should contain the length of the
\&\fBout\fR buffer, if the call is successful the encrypted data is written to
\&\fBout\fR and the amount of data written to \fBoutlen\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt_init()\fR algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
operation.
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt()\fR can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt_init()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_encrypt()\fR 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.
.SH EXAMPLE
.IX Header "EXAMPLE"
Encrypt data using OAEP (for RSA keys). See also \fBPEM_read_PUBKEY\fR\|(3) or
\&\fBd2i_X509\fR\|(3) for means to load a public key. You may also simply
set 'eng = NULL;' to start with the default OpenSSL RSA implementation:
