Re: Setting a group to an existing EVP_PKEY in OpenSSL 3

I haven’t done exactly what you are trying, but something similar.

 See EVP_PKEY_set_params:

https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man3/EVP_PKEY_set_params.html

The specific parm to set the group could be set like this:

 OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_utf8_string(param_bld, "group",                      

                                            curve, 0;

Please note that that I have not tested the above code as my code uses key-from-data. But I think it should work.

Hi,

 

How can I set a GROUP to an existing EC type EVP_PKEY in OpenSSL 3?

 

In 1.0.2 I was using this code having the EC_KEY:

 

EC_KEY_set_group(eckey, EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(nid));

 

In OpenSSL 3 still EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(nid) can be used, but I don’t know how to go from that to set it on the existing key.

 

 

Thanks,
