DESCRIPTION
These functions create, manipulate, and use cryptographic modules in the form ofThe cryptographic functionality that can be provided by an
RSA_METHOD - for providing alternative RSA implementations DSA_METHOD, DH_METHOD, RAND_METHOD, ECDH_METHOD, ECDSA_METHOD, - similarly for other OpenSSL APIs EVP_CIPHER - potentially multiple cipher algorithms (indexed by 'nid') EVP_DIGEST - potentially multiple hash algorithms (indexed by 'nid') key-loading - loading public and/or private EVP_PKEY keys
Reference counting and handles
Due to the modular nature of the
However, a structural reference provides no guarantee that the
Structural references
This basic type of reference is used for instantiating new ENGINEs, iterating across OpenSSL's internal linked-list of loaded ENGINEs, reading information about an
The ENGINE_new() function returns a structural reference to a new (empty)
It should also be noted that many
To clarify a particular function's handling of references, one should always consult that function's documentation ``man'' page, or failing that the openssl/engine.h header file includes some hints.
Functional references
As mentioned, functional references exist when the cryptographic functionality of an
To obtain a functional reference from an existing structural reference, call the ENGINE_init() function. This returns zero if the
The second way to get a functional reference is by asking OpenSSL for a default implementation for a given task, eg. by ENGINE_get_default_RSA(), ENGINE_get_default_cipher_engine(), etc. These are discussed in the next section, though they are not usually required by application programmers as they are used automatically when creating and using the relevant algorithm-specific types in OpenSSL, such as
Default implementations
For each supported abstraction, theWhen a default
Each state table has a flag to note whether it has processed this ``get_default'' query since the table was last modified, because to process this question it must iterate across all the registered ENGINEs in the table trying to initialise each of them in turn, in case one of them is operational. If it returns a functional reference to an
Application requirements
This section will explain the basic things an application programmer should support to make the most useful elements of theHaving called any of these functions,

The fact that ENGINEs are made visible to OpenSSL (and thus are linked into the program and loaded into memory at run-time) does not mean they are ``registered'' or called into use by OpenSSL automatically - that behaviour is something for the application to control. Some applications will want to allow the user to specify exactly which
Using a specific
Here we'll assume an application has been configured by its user or admin to want to use the ``
ENGINE *e; const char *engine_id = "ACME"; ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); e = ENGINE_by_id(engine_id); if(!e) /* the engine isn't available */ return; if(!ENGINE_init(e)) { /* the engine couldn't initialise, release 'e' */ ENGINE_free(e); return; } if(!ENGINE_set_default_RSA(e)) /* This should only happen when 'e' can't initialise, but the previous * statement suggests it did. */ abort(); ENGINE_set_default_DSA(e); ENGINE_set_default_ciphers(e); /* Release the functional reference from ENGINE_init() */ ENGINE_finish(e); /* Release the structural reference from ENGINE_by_id() */ ENGINE_free(e);
Automatically using builtin
Here we'll assume we want to load and register all
/* Load all bundled ENGINEs into memory and make them visible */ ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); /* Register all of them for every algorithm they collectively implement */ ENGINE_register_all_complete();
That's all that's required. Eg. the next time OpenSSL tries to set up an
Advanced configuration support
There is a mechanism supported by theBefore illustrating how control commands work, it is worth mentioning what they are typically used for. Broadly speaking there are two uses for control commands; the first is to provide the necessary details to the implementation (which may know nothing at all specific to the host system) so that it can be initialised for use. This could include the path to any driver or config files it needs to load, required network addresses, smart-card identifiers, passwords to initialise protected devices, logging information, etc etc. This class of commands typically needs to be passed to an
Issuing control commands to an
Let's illustrate by example; a function for which the caller supplies the name of the
int generic_load_engine_fn(const char *engine_id, const char **pre_cmds, int pre_num, const char **post_cmds, int post_num) { ENGINE *e = ENGINE_by_id(engine_id); if (!e) return 0; while (pre_num--) { if(!ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, pre_cmds[0], pre_cmds[1], 0)) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed command (%s - %s:%s)\n", engine_id, pre_cmds[0], pre_cmds[1] ? pre_cmds[1] : "(NULL)"); ENGINE_free(e); return 0; } pre_cmds += 2; } if (!ENGINE_init(e)) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed initialisation\n"); ENGINE_free(e); return 0; } /* ENGINE_init() returned a functional reference, so free the structural * reference from ENGINE_by_id(). */ ENGINE_free(e); while(post_num--) { if(!ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, post_cmds[0], post_cmds[1], 0)) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed command (%s - %s:%s)\n", engine_id, post_cmds[0], post_cmds[1] ? post_cmds[1] : "(NULL)"); ENGINE_finish(e); return 0; } post_cmds += 2; } ENGINE_set_default(e, ENGINE_METHOD_ALL & ~ENGINE_METHOD_RAND); /* Success */ return 1; }
Note that ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string() accepts a boolean argument that can relax the semantics of the function - if set non-zero it will only return failure if the

It is possible to discover at run-time the names, numerical-ids, descriptions and input parameters of the control commands supported by an
