# NAME

SSL_get_peer_tmp_key, SSL_get_server_tmp_key, SSL_get_tmp_key - get information about temporary keys used during a handshake

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     long SSL_get_peer_tmp_key(SSL *ssl, EVP_PKEY **key);
     long SSL_get_server_tmp_key(SSL *ssl, EVP_PKEY **key);
     long SSL_get_tmp_key(SSL *ssl, EVP_PKEY **key);

# DESCRIPTION

`SSL_get_peer_tmp_key()` returns the temporary key provided by the peer and used during key exchange. For example, if ECDHE is in use, then this represents the peer's public ECDHE key. On success a pointer to the key is stored in *key. It is the caller's responsibility to free this key after use using EVP_PKEY_free(3).

`SSL_get_server_tmp_key()` is a backwards compatibility alias for `SSL_get_peer_tmp_key()`. Under that name it worked just on the client side of the connection, its behaviour on the server end is release-dependent.

`SSL_get_tmp_key()` returns the equivalent information for the local end of the connection.

# RETURN VALUES

All these functions return 1 on success and 0 otherwise.

# NOTES

This function is implemented as a macro.

# SEE ALSO
