The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing +asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption. +See L for further information. + +The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free(). + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free() decrements the reference count for the B +structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call +to EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the +structure is freed. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() increments the reference count for an +B structure. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a() returns 1 if I is an implementation of an +algorithm that's identifiable with I, otherwise 0. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_provider() returns the provider that I was fetched from. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided() traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs implemented by +all activated providers in the given library context I, and for each of +the implementations, calls the given function I with the implementation +method and the given I as argument. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_number() returns the internal dynamic number assigned to +I. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all() traverses all names for I, and calls +I with each name and I. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch() returns a pointer to an B for success +or B for failure. + +EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L + +=head1 HISTORY + +The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 3.0. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
