Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG 7ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG EVP_RAND implementation Header "DESCRIPTION" Support for the HMAC deterministic random bit generator through the \fBEVP_RAND API. Subsection "Identity" "HMAC-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the \fBEVP_RAND_fetch() function. Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are: Item """state"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>"

0

Item """strength"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_request"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>" Item """reseed_requests"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>" Item """reseed_time_interval"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>" Item """min_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """min_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_perslen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_adinlen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """reseed_counter"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>" Item """properties"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>" Item """mac"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC) <UTF8 string>" Item """digest"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"

These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND\|(3).

Item """fips-indicator"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>"

0

Item """digest-check"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>"

These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in provider-rand\|(7).

Header "NOTES" When using the FIPS provider, only these digests are permitted (as per 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>):

The default HMAC-DRBG implementation attempts to fetch the required internal algorithms from the provider they are built into (eg the default provider) regardless of the properties provided. Should the provider not implement the required algorithms then properties will be used to find a different implementation.

Item "SHA-1"

0

Item "SHA2-256" Item "SHA2-512" Item "SHA3-256" Item "SHA3-512"

A context for HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:

.Vb 2 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL); EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL); .Ve

Header "EXAMPLES" .Vb 5 EVP_RAND *rand; EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx; unsigned char bytes[100]; OSSL_PARAM params[3], *p = params; unsigned int strength = 128; \& rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL); rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL); EVP_RAND_free(rand); \& *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC, SN_hmac, 0); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, 0); *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params); \& EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0); \& EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx); .Ve Header "CONFORMING TO" NIST SP 800-90A and SP 800-90B Header "SEE ALSO" \fBEVP_RAND\|(3), "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND\|(3), \fBopenssl-fipsinstall\|(1) Header "HISTORY" OpenSSL 3.1.1 introduced the -no_drbg_truncated_digests option to fipsinstall which restricts the permitted digests when using the FIPS provider in a complaint manner.
