40=head1 DESCRIPTION
41
42This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
43for further information.
44
45The KDF operation enables providers to implement KDF algorithms and make
46them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_KDF_CTX_reset(3)>,
47and L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)>.
48
49All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
50F<libcrypto> and the provider in L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays via
51L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> arrays that are returned by the provider's
52provider_query_operation() function
53(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).
54
55All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
56named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
57function pointer from an L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> element named
58B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
59For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() has these:
60
61 typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
62 static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn
63     OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
64
65L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> array entries are identified by numbers that are provided as
66macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:
67
68 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx               OSSL_FUNC_KDF_NEWCTX
69 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx              OSSL_FUNC_KDF_FREECTX
70 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_dupctx               OSSL_FUNC_KDF_DUPCTX
71
72 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset                OSSL_FUNC_KDF_RESET
73 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive               OSSL_FUNC_KDF_DERIVE
74
75 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params           OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GET_PARAMS
76 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GET_CTX_PARAMS
77 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_KDF_SET_CTX_PARAMS
78
79 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params      OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GETTABLE_PARAMS
80 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
81 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_KDF_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
82
83A KDF algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
84In order to be a consistent set of functions, at least the following functions
85must be implemented: OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx(),
86OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive().
87All other functions are optional.
88
89=head2 Context Management Functions
90
91OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side
92structure for holding context information during a KDF operation.
93A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other KDF
94operation function calls.
95The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
96initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).
97
98OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side KDF context in
99the I<kctx> parameter.
100If it receives NULL as I<kctx> value, it should not do anything other than
101return.
102This function should free any resources associated with that context.
103
104OSSL_FUNC_kdf_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side KDF context in the
105I<kctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.
106
107=head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions
108
109OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset() initialises a KDF operation given a provider
110side KDF context in the I<kctx> parameter.
111
112OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive() performs the KDF operation after processing the
113I<params> as per OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params().
114The I<kctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
115The resulting key of the desired I<keylen> should be written to I<key>.
116If the algorithm does not support the requested I<keylen> the function must
117return error.
118
119=head2 KDF Parameters
120
121See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
122these functions.
123
124OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params() gets details of parameter values associated with the
125provider algorithm and stores them in I<params>.
126
127OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params() sets KDF parameters associated with the given
128provider side KDF context I<kctx> to I<params>.
129Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
130Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.
131
132OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params() retrieves gettable parameter values associated
133with the given provider side KDF context I<kctx> and stores them in I<params>.
134Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.
135
136OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params(),
137and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() all return constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
138arrays as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params(),
139OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params()
140can handle, respectively.  OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params() and
141OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() will return the parameters associated
142with the provider side context I<kctx> in its current state if it is
143not NULL.  Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
144provider side algorithm I<provctx>.
145
146
147Parameters currently recognised by built-in KDFs are as follows. Not all
148parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all KDFs:

157If the input parameters required to calculate the fixed output size have not yet
158been supplied, 0 should be returned indicating an error.

337
338The KDF life-cycle is described in L<life_cycle-kdf(7)>.  Providers should

340the EVP layer will begin enforcing the listed transitions.
