.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All public keys (PKEYs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:
.IP "start" 4
.IX Item "start"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 before it has been allocated. It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
.IP "newed" 4
.IX Item "newed"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 after it has been allocated.
.IP "decapsulate" 4
.IX Item "decapsulate"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a private key decapsulation
operation.
.IP "decrypt" 4
.IX Item "decrypt"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to decrypt some ciphertext.
.IP "derive" 4
.IX Item "derive"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to derive a shared secret.
.IP "digest sign" 4
.IX Item "digest sign"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a private key signature
operation.
.IP "encapsulate" 4
.IX Item "encapsulate"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a public key encapsulation
operation.
.IP "encrypt" 4
.IX Item "encrypt"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to encrypt some plaintext.
.IP "key generation" 4
.IX Item "key generation"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to generate a new public/private key.
.IP "parameter generation" 4
.IX Item "parameter generation"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to generate key parameters.
.IP "verify" 4
.IX Item "verify"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to verify a public key signature.
.IP "verify recover" 4
.IX Item "verify recover"
This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to recover a public key signature data.
.IP "freed" 4
.IX Item "freed"
This state is entered when the \s-1PKEY\s0 is freed. It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
