\&\fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\fR is a structure which holds a set of \s-1ASN.1\s0
conversion, printing and information methods for a specific public key
algorithm.
.PP
There are two places where the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\fR objects are
stored: one is a built-in array representing the standard methods for
different algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined
application-specific methods, which can be manipulated by using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_asn1_add0\fR\|(3).
.SS "Methods"
.IX Subsection "Methods"
The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public
key algorithm present by the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY\s0\fR object.

The \fBpub_decode()\fR and \fBpub_encode()\fR methods are called to decode /

They're called by \fBX509_PUBKEY_get0\fR\|(3) and \fBX509_PUBKEY_set\fR\|(3).
.PP
The \fBpub_cmp()\fR method is called when two public keys are to be
compared.
It \s-1MUST\s0 return 1 when the keys are equal, 0 otherwise.
It's called by \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp\fR\|(3).

The \fBpub_print()\fR method is called to print a public key in humanly
