Add convenience functions and macros for asymmetric key generation
Add EVP_PKEY_gen(), EVP_PKEY_Q_gen(), EVP_RSA_gen(), and EVP_EC_gen().
Also export auxiliary function OSSL_EC_curve_nid2name()
and improve deprecation info on RSA and EC key generation/management functions.

Keys can be generated dynamically -using the EVP APIs (for example see L<EVP_PKEY_gen(3)>). However it is often +using the EVP APIs (for example see L<EVP_PKEY_Q_keygen(3)>). However it is often necessary to save or load keys (or their associated parameters) to or from some external format such as PEM or DER (see L<openssl-glossary(7)>). OpenSSL uses encoders and decoders to perform this task. |
