NAME
       OSSL_PROVIDER-base - OpenSSL base provider


DESCRIPTION
       The OpenSSL base provider supplies the encoding for OpenSSL's asymmetric cryptography.

   Properties
       The implementations in this provider specifically have this property defined:

       "provider=base"

       It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions.

       It  isn't  mandatory  to  query  for  this  property,  except to make sure to get implementations of this
       provider and none other.

       "type=parameters"
       "type=private"
       "type=public"

       These may be used in a property query string with fetching functions to  select  which  data  are  to  be
       encoded.   Either  the  private  key  material,  the  public key material or the domain parameters can be
       selected.

       "format=der"
       "format=pem"
       "format=text"

       These may be used in a property query string with  fetching  functions  to  select  the  encoding  output
       format.  Either the DER, PEM and plaintext are currently permitted.


OPERATIONS AND ALGORITHMS
       The OpenSSL base provider supports these operations and algorithms:

   Asymmetric Key Encoder
       In  addition  to "provider=base", some of these encoders define the property "fips=yes", to allow them to
       be used together with the FIPS provider.
