23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25These methods are intended for use by provider implementers, to display
26diagnostic information during self testing.
27
28OSSL_SELF_TEST_new() allocates an opaque B<OSSL_SELF_TEST> object that has a
29callback and callback argument associated with it.
30
31The callback I<cb> may be triggered multiple times by a self test to indicate
32different phases.
33
34OSSL_SELF_TEST_free() frees the space allocated by OSSL_SELF_TEST_new().
35If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
36
37OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin() may be inserted at the start of a block of self test
38code. It can be used for diagnostic purposes.
39If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
40L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.
41
42=over 4
43
44=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>
45
46The value is the string "Start"
47
48=back
49
50OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() may be inserted just after the known answer is
51calculated, but before the self test compares the result. The first byte in the
52passed in array of I<bytes> will be corrupted if the callback returns 0,
53otherwise it leaves the array unaltered. It can be used for failure testing.
54The I<type> and I<desc> can be used to identify an individual self test to
55target for failure testing.
56If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
57L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.
58
59=over 4
60
61=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>
62
63The value is the string "Corrupt"
64
65=back
66
67OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend() may be inserted at the end of a block of self test code
68just before cleanup to indicate if the test passed or failed. It can be used for
69diagnostic purposes.
70If this method is called the callback I<cb> will receive the following
71L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> object.
72
73=over 4
74
75=item "st-phase" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_PHASE>) <UTF8 string>
76
77The value of the string is "Pass" if I<ret> is non zero, otherwise it has the
78value "Fail".
79
80=back
81
82After the callback I<cb> has been called the values that were set by
83OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin() for I<type> and I<desc> are set to the value "None".
84
85If OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() or
86OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend() is called the following additional L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> are
87passed to the callback.
88
89=over 4
90
91=item "st-type" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>
92
93The value is setup by the I<type> passed to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin().
94This allows the callback to identify the type of test being run.
95
96=item "st-desc" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_SELF_TEST_DESC>) <UTF8 string>
97
98The value is setup by the I<type> passed to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin().
99This allows the callback to identify the sub category of the test being run.
100
101=back
102
103=head1 RETURN VALUES
104
105OSSL_SELF_TEST_new() returns the allocated B<OSSL_SELF_TEST> object, or NULL if
106it fails.
107
108OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte() returns 1 if corruption occurs, otherwise it
109returns 0.
110
111=head1 EXAMPLES
112
113A single self test could be set up in the following way:
114
115    OSSL_SELF_TEST *st = NULL;
116    OSSL_CALLBACK *cb;
117    void *cbarg;
118    int ok = 0;
119    unsigned char out[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
120    unsigned int out_len = 0;
121    EVP_MD_CTX *ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
122    EVP_MD *md = EVP_MD_fetch(libctx, t->algorithm, NULL);
123
124    /*
125     * Retrieve the callback - will be NULL if not set by the application via
126     * OSSL_SELF_TEST_set_callback().
127     */
128    OSSL_SELF_TEST_get_callback(libctx, &cb, &cbarg);
129
130    st = OSSL_SELF_TEST_new(cb, cb_arg);
131
132    /* Trigger the optional callback */
133    OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(st, OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_DIGEST,
134                           OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_MD_SHA2);
135
136    if (!EVP_DigestInit_ex(ctx, md, NULL)
137        || !EVP_DigestUpdate(ctx, pt, pt_len)
138        || !EVP_DigestFinal(ctx, out, &out_len))
139        goto err;
140
141    /* Optional corruption - If the application callback returns 0 */
142    OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte(st, out);
143
144    if (out_len != t->expected_len
145        || memcmp(out, t->expected, out_len) != 0)
146        goto err;
147    ok = 1;
148  err:
149    OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend(st, ok);
150    EVP_MD_free(md);
151    EVP_MD_CTX_free(ctx);
152
153Multiple self test's can be set up in a similar way by repeating the pattern of
154OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_oncorrupt_byte(), OSSL_SELF_TEST_onend()
155for each test.
