EVP_KDF-X963 - The X9.63-2001 EVP_KDF implementation
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" The EVP_KDF-X963 algorithm implements the key derivation function (X963KDF).
X963KDF is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) for EC KeyAgreement, to
derive a key using input such as a shared secret key and shared info.
The output is considered to be keying material.
Identity
Subsection "Identity" "X963KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the
EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
"Supported parameters"
Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are:
"""properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>" 4
Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>" 0
"""digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>" 4
Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF\|(3).
"""key"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>" 4
Item """key"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>" The shared secret used for key derivation.
This parameter sets the secret.
"""info"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO) <octet string>" 4
Item """info"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO) <octet string>" This parameter specifies an optional value for shared info.
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
"""fips-indicator"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>" 4
Item """fips-indicator"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>" A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
This may be used after calling EVP_KDF_derive. It returns 0 if any "***-check"
related parameter is set to 0 and the check fails.
"""digest-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <int>" 4
Item """digest-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <int>" The default value of 1 causes an error during
EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if
used digest is not approved.
Setting this to zero will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.
.Sp
According to ANSI X9.63-2001, the following are approved digest algorithms:
SHA2-224, SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512, SHA2-512/224, SHA2-512/256, SHA3-224,
SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512.
"""key-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>" 4
Item """key-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>" The default value of 1 causes an error during
EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if the
length of used key-derivation key (
OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) is shorter than 112
bits.
Setting this to zero will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.
NOTES
Header "NOTES" X963KDF is very similar to the SSKDF that uses a digest as the auxiliary function,
X963KDF appends the counter to the secret, whereas SSKDF prepends the counter.
A context for X963KDF can be obtained by calling:
.Vb 2
EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
.Ve
The output length of an X963KDF is specified via the keylen
parameter to the EVP_KDF_derive\|(3) function.
EXAMPLES
Header "EXAMPLES" This example derives 10 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and sharedinfo
value "label":
.Vb 4
EVP_KDF *kdf;
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char out[10];
OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;
\&
kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
\&
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST,
SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256));
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
"secret", (size_t)6);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO,
"label", (size_t)5);
*p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
error("EVP_KDF_derive");
}
\&
EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
.Ve
