X509_GET_PUBKEY(3) Library Functions Manual X509_GET_PUBKEY(3)

X509_get_pubkey, X509_get0_pubkey, X509_set_pubkey, X509_get_X509_PUBKEY, X509_REQ_get_pubkey, X509_REQ_set_pubkeyget or set certificate or certificate request public key

#include <openssl/x509.h>

() attempts to decode the public key for certificate x. If successful it returns the public key as an EVP_PKEY pointer with its reference count incremented: this means the returned key must be freed up after use. () is similar except that it does not increment the reference count of the returned EVP_PKEY, so it must not be freed up after use.

() returns an internal pointer to the X509_PUBKEY structure which encodes the certificate of x. The returned value must not be freed up after use. X509_get_X509_PUBKEY() is implemented as a macro.

() attempts to set the public key for certificate x to pkey. The key pkey should be freed up after use.

() and () are similar but operate on certificate request req.

The first time a public key is decoded, the EVP_PKEY structure is cached in the certificate or certificate request itself. Subsequent calls return the cached structure with its reference count incremented to improve performance.

X509_get_pubkey(), X509_get0_pubkey(), X509_get_X509_PUBKEY(), and X509_REQ_get_pubkey() return a public key or NULL if an error occurred.

X509_set_pubkey() and X509_REQ_set_pubkey() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
