23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25During the creation of a TLS or DTLS connection shared keying material is
26established between the two endpoints. The functions
27SSL_export_keying_material() and SSL_export_keying_material_early() enable an
28application to use some of this keying material for its own purposes in
29accordance with RFC5705 (for TLSv1.2 and below) or RFC8446 (for TLSv1.3).
30
31SSL_export_keying_material() derives keying material using
32the F<exporter_master_secret> established in the handshake.
33
34SSL_export_keying_material_early() is only usable with TLSv1.3, and derives
35keying material using the F<early_exporter_master_secret> (as defined in the
36TLS 1.3 RFC). For the client, the F<early_exporter_master_secret> is only
37available when the client attempts to send 0-RTT data. For the server, it is
38only available when the server accepts 0-RTT data.
39
40An application may need to securely establish the context within which this
41keying material will be used. For example this may include identifiers for the
42application session, application algorithms or parameters, or the lifetime of
43the context. The context value is left to the application but must be the same
44on both sides of the communication.
45
46For a given SSL connection B<s>, B<olen> bytes of data will be written to
47B<out>. The application specific context should be supplied in the location
48pointed to by B<context> and should be B<contextlen> bytes long. Provision of
49a context is optional. If the context should be omitted entirely then
50B<use_context> should be set to 0. Otherwise it should be any other value. If
51B<use_context> is 0 then the values of B<context> and B<contextlen> are ignored.
52Note that in TLSv1.2 and below a zero length context is treated differently from
53no context at all, and will result in different keying material being returned.
54In TLSv1.3 a zero length context is that same as no context at all and will
55result in the same keying material being returned.
56
57An application specific label should be provided in the location pointed to by
58B<label> and should be B<llen> bytes long. Typically this will be a value from
59the IANA Exporter Label Registry
60(L<https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#exporter-labels>).
61Alternatively labels beginning with "EXPERIMENTAL" are permitted by the standard
62to be used without registration. TLSv1.3 imposes a maximum label length of
63249 bytes.
64
65Note that this function is only defined for TLSv1.0 and above, and DTLSv1.0 and
66above. Attempting to use it in SSLv3 will result in an error.
