Because EVP_SealInit() generates a random symmetric key and encrypts it using one or more public keys. For this to work the public key algorithm has to support encryption of the symmetric key using a public key aka key transport. Of the public key algorithms OpenSSL currently implements only RSA has that operation. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
