=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init, EVP_PKEY_decapsulate
- Key decapsulation using a KEM algorithm with a private key

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]);
 int EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
                          unsigned char *unwrapped, size_t *unwrappedlen,
                          const unsigned char *wrapped, size_t wrappedlen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() function initializes a private key algorithm
context I<ctx> for a decapsulation operation and then sets the I<params>
on the context in the same way as calling L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
Note that I<ctx> usually is produced using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(3)>,
specifying the private key to use.

The EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() function performs a private key decapsulation
operation using I<ctx>. The data to be decapsulated is specified using the
I<wrapped> and I<wrappedlen> parameters.
If I<unwrapped> is NULL then the maximum size of the output secret buffer
is written to I<*unwrappedlen>. If I<unwrapped> is not NULL and the
call is successful then the decapsulated secret data is written to I<unwrapped>
and the amount of data written to I<*unwrappedlen>.

=head1 NOTES

After the call to EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() algorithm-specific parameters
for the operation may be set or modified using L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init() and EVP_PKEY_decapsulate() return 1 for
success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
indicates the operation is not supported by the private key algorithm.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Decapsulate data using RSA:

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 /*
  * NB: assumes rsa_priv_key is an RSA private key,
  * and that in, inlen are already set up to contain encapsulated data.
  */

 EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx = NULL;
 size_t secretlen = 0;
 unsigned char *secret = NULL;;

 ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(libctx, rsa_priv_key, NULL);
 if (ctx = NULL)
     /* Error */
 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate_init(ctx, NULL) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Set the mode - only 'RSASVE' is currently supported */
 if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_kem_op(ctx, "RSASVE") <= 0)
     /* Error */

 /* Determine buffer length */
 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulate(ctx, NULL, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */

 secret = OPENSSL_malloc(secretlen);
 if (secret == NULL)
     /* malloc failure */

 /* Decapsulated secret data is secretlen bytes long */
 if (EVP_PKEY_decapsulaterctx, secret, &secretlen, in, inlen) <= 0)
     /* Error */
