NAME

       EVP_PKEY-SM2, EVP_KEYMGMT-SM2, SM2 - EVP_PKEY keytype support for the Chinese SM2 signature and
       encryption algorithms

DESCRIPTION

       The SM2 algorithm was first defined by the Chinese national standard GM/T 0003-2012 and was later
       standardized by ISO as ISO/IEC 14888. SM2 is actually an elliptic curve based algorithm. The current
       implementation in OpenSSL supports both signature and encryption schemes via the EVP interface.

       When doing the SM2 signature algorithm, it requires a distinguishing identifier to form the message
       prefix which is hashed before the real message is hashed.

   Common SM2 parameters
       SM2 uses the parameters defined in "Common EC parameters" in EVP_PKEY-EC(7).  The following parameters
       are different:

       "cofactor" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_COFACTOR) <unsigned integer>
           This parameter is ignored for SM2.

       (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DEFAULT_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           Getter that returns the default digest name.  (Currently returns "SM3" as of OpenSSL 3.0).

NOTES

       SM2   signatures   can   be   generated   by  using  the  'DigestSign'  series  of  APIs,  for  instance,
       EVP_DigestSignInit(), EVP_DigestSignUpdate()  and  EVP_DigestSignFinal().   Ditto  for  the  verification
       process by calling the 'DigestVerify' series of APIs.

       Before computing an SM2 signature, an EVP_PKEY_CTX needs to be created, and an SM2 ID must be set for it,
       like this:

        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id(pctx, id, id_len);

       Before  calling the EVP_DigestSignInit() or EVP_DigestVerifyInit() functions, that EVP_PKEY_CTX should be
       assigned to the EVP_MD_CTX, like this:

        EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(mctx, pctx);

       There is normally no need to pass a pctx parameter to EVP_DigestSignInit() or  EVP_DigestVerifyInit()  in
       such a scenario.

       SM2  can  be  tested  with the openssl-speed(1) application since version 3.0.  Currently, the only valid
       algorithm name is sm2.

       Since version 3.0, SM2 keys can be generated and loaded only when the domain parameters specify  the  SM2
       elliptic curve.

EXAMPLES

       This  example  demonstrates  the  calling sequence for using an EVP_PKEY to verify a message with the SM2
       signature algorithm and the SM3 hash algorithm:

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        /* obtain an EVP_PKEY using whatever methods... */
        mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
        pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(pkey, NULL);
        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id(pctx, id, id_len);
        EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(mctx, pctx);
        EVP_DigestVerifyInit(mctx, NULL, EVP_sm3(), NULL, pkey);
        EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate(mctx, msg, msg_len);
        EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(mctx, sig, sig_len)
