2021-05-11Add convenience functions and macros for asymmetric key generationDr. David von Oheimb
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.

2020-06-17Add ACVP fips module testsShane Lontis
For FIPS validation purposes - Automated Cryptographic Validation Protocol (ACVP) tests need to be performed. (See https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP). These tests are very similiar to the old CAVS tests. This PR uses a hardwired subset of these test vectors to perform similiar operations, to show the usage and prove that the API's are able to perform the required operations. It may also help with communication with the lab (i.e- The lab could add a test here to show a unworking use case - which we can then address). The EVP layer performs these tests instead of calling lower level API's as was done in the old FOM. Some of these tests require access to internals that are not normally allowed/required. The config option 'acvp_tests' (enabled by default) has been added so that this access may be removed. The mechanism has been implemented as additional OSSL_PARAM values that can be set and get. A callback mechanism did not seem to add any additional benefit. These params will not be added to the gettables lists.

2020-06-10Update RSA keygen to use sp800-56b by defaultShane Lontis
Fixes #11742 Fixes #11764 The newer RSA sp800-56b algorithm is being used for the normal case of a non multiprime key of at least length 2048. Insecure key lengths and mutltiprime RSA will use the old method. Bad public exponents are no longer allowed (i.e values less than 65537 or even). Values such as 2 that would cause a infinite loop now result in an error. The value of 3 has been marked as deprecated but is still allowed for legacy purposes.

2020-05-26Update core_names.h fields and document most fields.Shane Lontis
Renamed some values in core_names i.e Some DH specific names were changed to use DH instead of FFC. Added some strings values related to RSA keys. Moved set_params related docs out of EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl.pod into its own file. Updated Keyexchange and signature code and docs. Moved some common DSA/DH docs into a shared EVP_PKEY-FFC.pod. Moved Ed25519.pod into EVP_SIGNATURE-ED25519.pod and reworked it. Added some usage examples. As a result of the usage examples the following change was also made: ec allows OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH as a settable gen parameter.
