EVP_KEM-RSA(7SSL)                              OpenSSL                             EVP_KEM-RSA(7SSL)

NAME
       EVP_KEM-RSA - EVP_KEM RSA keytype and algorithm support

DESCRIPTION
       The RSA keytype and its parameters are described in EVP_PKEY-RSA(7).  See
       EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(3) and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(3) for more info.

   RSA KEM parameters
       "operation" (OSSL_KEM_PARAM_OPERATION) <UTF8 string>
           The  OpenSSL  RSA  Key  Encapsulation  Mechanism  only  currently  supports the following
           operation

           "RSASVE"
               The encapsulate function simply generates  a  secret  using  random  bytes  and  then
               encrypts  the  secret  using  the  RSA public key (with no padding).  The decapsulate
               function recovers the secret using the RSA private key.

           This can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op().

CONFORMING TO
       SP800-56Br2
           Section 7.2.1.2 RSASVE Generate  Operation  (RSASVE.GENERATE).   Section  7.2.1.3  RSASVE
           Recovery Operation (RSASVE.RECOVER).
