Openssl 3.0.0 creating ECC key from X and Y, PEM_write_PUBKEY fails

[Ken Goldman]

I have X and Y as bignums.  I create EVP_PKEY with this.

I suspect that I have to do another step to indicate that I supplied X and Y and not a compressed
public key.


	param_bld = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new();	
	rc = getEcCurveString(&curveString,		gets strings like prime256v1
	irc = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_utf8_string(param_bld, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
					      curveString, 0);
	irc = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_BN(param_bld, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_X, x);
	irc = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_BN(param_bld, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_EC_PUB_Y, y);
	params = OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param(param_bld);	
	ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "EC", NULL);	
	irc = EVP_PKEY_fromdata_init(ctx);
	irc = EVP_PKEY_fromdata(ctx, evpPubkey, EVP_PKEY_PUBLIC_KEY, params);

following that, this fails with

	irc = PEM_write_PUBKEY(pemFile, evpPubkey);
