Re: Checking if a key can sign / verify in 3.0

No comments on my question? Should there not be a way to know if an EVP_PKEY is valid for verification besides attempting the verify operation and getting a weird error code?  Doesn't seem like too much to expect since we already have EVP_PKEY_can_sign(). I'm happy to implement EVP_PKEY_can_verify() with some assurance such a PR would be accepted.

In 3.0 I see this new function in evp.h :

int EVP_PKEY_can_sign(const EVP_PKEY *pkey);

Is there an equivalent way to check if a key can verify? I'm not seeing an obvious way to do that.  Previously I used EVP_PKEY_meth_get_verifyctx() but that call is now deprecated in 3.0.

thanks,
