5EVP_KDF-SS - The Single Step / One Step EVP_KDF implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9The EVP_KDF-SS algorithm implements the Single Step key derivation function (SSKDF).
10SSKDF derives a key using input such as a shared secret key (that was generated
11during the execution of a key establishment scheme) and fixedinfo.
12SSKDF is also informally referred to as 'Concat KDF'.
13
14=head2 Auxiliary function
15
16The implementation uses a selectable auxiliary function H, which can be one of:
17
18=over 4
19
20=item B<H(x) = hash(x, digest=md)>
21
22=item B<H(x) = HMAC_hash(x, key=salt, digest=md)>
23
24=item B<H(x) = KMACxxx(x, key=salt, custom="KDF", outlen=mac_size)>
25
26=back
27
28Both the HMAC and KMAC implementations set the key using the 'salt' value.
29The hash and HMAC also require the digest to be set.
30
31=head2 Identity
32
33"SSKDF" is the name for this implementation; it
34can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
35
36=head2 Supported parameters
37
38The supported parameters are:
39
40=over 4
41
42=item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
43
44=item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
45
46This parameter is ignored for KMAC.
47
48=item "mac" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC>) <UTF8 string>
49
50=item "maclen" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
51
52=item "salt" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT>) <octet string>
53
54These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
55
56=item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>
57
58This parameter set the shared secret that is used for key derivation.
59
60=item "info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO>) <octet string>
61
62This parameter sets an optional value for fixedinfo, also known as otherinfo.
63
64=back
65
66=head1 NOTES
67
68A context for SSKDF can be obtained by calling:
69
70 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSKDF", NULL);
71 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
72
73The output length of an SSKDF is specified via the I<keylen>
74parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.
75
76=head1 EXAMPLES
