SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/x509.h>
EVP_PKEY *
X509_get_pubkey
(X509 *x);
int
X509_set_pubkey
(X509 *x,
EVP_PKEY *pkey);
X509_PUBKEY *
X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
(X509
*x);
EVP_PKEY *
X509_REQ_get_pubkey
(X509_REQ
*req);
int
X509_REQ_set_pubkey
(X509_REQ *x,
EVP_PKEY *pkey);
DESCRIPTION
X509_get_pubkey
()
attempts to decode the public key for certificate x.
If successful it returns the public key as an EVP_PKEY
pointer with its reference count incremented: this means the returned key
must be freed up after use.
X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
()
returns an internal pointer to the X509_PUBKEY
structure which encodes the certificate of x. The
returned value must not be freed up after use.
X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
() is implemented as a
macro.
X509_set_pubkey
()
attempts to set the public key for certificate x to
pkey. The key pkey should be
freed up after use.
X509_REQ_get_pubkey
()
and
X509_REQ_set_pubkey
()
are similar but operate on certificate request
req.
The first time a public key is decoded, the EVP_PKEY structure is cached in the certificate or certificate request itself. Subsequent calls return the cached structure with its reference count incremented to improve performance.
RETURN VALUES
X509_get_pubkey
(),
X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
(), and
X509_REQ_get_pubkey
() return a public key or
NULL
if an error occurred.
X509_set_pubkey
() and
X509_REQ_set_pubkey
() return 1 for success or 0 for
failure.
