5EVP_RAND-HASH-DRBG - The HASH DRBG EVP_RAND implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Support for the hash deterministic random bit generator through the
10B<EVP_RAND> API.
11
12=head2 Identity
13
14"HASH-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
15EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
16
17=head2 Supported parameters
18
19The supported parameters are:
20
21=over 4
22
23=item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer>
24
25=item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer>
26
27=item "max_request" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST>) <unsigned integer>
28
29=item "reseed_requests" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS>) <unsigned integer>
30
31=item "reseed_time_interval" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL>) <integer>
32
33=item "min_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
34
35=item "max_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
36
37=item "min_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>

39=item "max_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>
40
41=item "max_perslen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN>) <unsigned integer>
42
43=item "max_adinlen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN>) <unsigned integer>
44
45=item "reseed_counter" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER>) <unsigned integer>

47=item "properties" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
48
49=item "digest" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
50
51These parameters work as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>.
52
53=item "fips-indicator" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR>) <integer>
54
55=item "digest-check" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK>) <integer>
56
57These parameters work as described in L<provider-rand(7)/PARAMETERS>.

61=head1 NOTES
62
63When the FIPS provider is installed using the B<-no_drbg_truncated_digests>
64option to fipsinstall, only these digests are permitted (as per
65L<FIPS 140-3 IG D.R|https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>):
66
67The default HASH-DRBG implementation attempts to fetch the required internal
68algorithms from the provider they are built into (eg the default provider)
69regardless of the properties provided. Should the provider not implement
70the required algorithms then properties will be used to find a different
71implementation.
72
73=over 4
74
75=item SHA-1
76
77=item SHA2-256
78
79=item SHA2-512
80
81=item SHA3-256

83=item SHA3-512
84

87A context for HASH DRBG can be obtained by calling:
88
89 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HASH-DRBG", NULL);
90 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
91
92=head1 EXAMPLES
93
94 EVP_RAND *rand;
95 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
96 unsigned char bytes[100];
97 OSSL_PARAM params[2], *p = params;
98 unsigned int strength = 128;
99
100 rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HASH-DRBG", NULL);
101 rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
102 EVP_RAND_free(rand);
103
104 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha512, 0);
105 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
106 EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params);
107
108 EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0);
109
110 EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx);

122=head1 HISTORY
123
124OpenSSL 3.1.1 introduced the B<-no_drbg_truncated_digests> option to
125fipsinstall which restricts the permitted digests when using the FIPS
126provider in a complaint manner.  For details refer to
