4
5EVP_MAC-GMAC - The GMAC EVP_MAC implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Support for computing GMAC MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
10
11This implementation uses EVP_CIPHER functions to get access to the underlying
12cipher.
13
14=head2 Identity
15
16This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
17used with EVP_MAC_fetch():
18
19=over 4
20
21=item "GMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"
22
23=back
24
25=head2 Supported parameters
26
27The general description of these parameters can be found in
28L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.
29
30The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():
31
32=over 4
33
34=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
35
36Sets the MAC key.
37Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
38
39=item "iv" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_IV>) <octet string>
40
41Sets the IV of the underlying cipher, when applicable.
42
43=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
44
45Sets the name of the underlying cipher to be used.
46
47=item "properties" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
48
49Sets the properties to be queried when trying to fetch the underlying cipher.
50This must be given together with the cipher naming parameter to be considered
51valid.
52
53=back
54
55The following parameters can be retrieved with
56EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():
57
58=over 4
59
60=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
61
62Gets the MAC size.
63
64=back
65
66The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
67The length of the "size" parameter is equal to that of an B<unsigned int>.
