.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

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 "OPENSSL-KDF 1ossl"
OPENSSL-KDF 1ossl "2023-09-22" "3.0.11" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
openssl-kdf - perform Key Derivation Function operations
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl kdf [-help] [-cipher] [-digest] [-mac] [-kdfopt nm:v] [-keylen num] [-out filename] [-binary] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq] \fIkdf_name
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The key derivation functions generate a derived key from either a secret or password.
"OPTIONS"
Header "OPTIONS"
"-help" 4
Item "-help" Print a usage message.
"-keylen num" 4
Item "-keylen num" The output size of the derived key. This field is required.
"-out filename" 4
Item "-out filename" Filename to output to, or standard output by default.
"-binary" 4
Item "-binary" Output the derived key in binary form. Uses hexadecimal text format if not specified.
"-cipher name" 4
Item "-cipher name" Specify the cipher to be used by the \s-1KDF.\s0 Not all KDFs require a cipher and it is an error to use this option in such cases.
"-digest name" 4
Item "-digest name" Specify the digest to be used by the \s-1KDF.\s0 Not all KDFs require a digest and it is an error to use this option in such cases. To see the list of supported digests, use \*(C`openssl list -digest-commands\*(C'.
"-mac name" 4
Item "-mac name" Specify the \s-1MAC\s0 to be used by the \s-1KDF.\s0 Not all KDFs require a \s-1MAC\s0 and it is an error to use this option in such cases.
"-kdfopt nm:v" 4
Item "-kdfopt nm:v" Passes options to the \s-1KDF\s0 algorithm. A comprehensive list of parameters can be found in \*(L"\s-1PARAMETERS\*(R"\s0 in \s-1EVP_KDF\s0\|(3). Common parameter names used by EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() are:

"key:string" 4
Item "key:string" Specifies the secret key as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains printable characters only). The string length must conform to any restrictions of the \s-1KDF\s0 algorithm. A key must be specified for most \s-1KDF\s0 algorithms.
"hexkey:string" 4
Item "hexkey:string" Alternative to the key: option where the secret key is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
"pass:string" 4
Item "pass:string" Specifies the password as an alphanumeric string (use if the password contains printable characters only). The password must be specified for \s-1PBKDF2\s0 and scrypt.
"hexpass:string" 4
Item "hexpass:string" Alternative to the pass: option where the password is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
"salt:string" 4
Item "salt:string" Specifies a non-secret unique cryptographic salt as an alphanumeric string (use if it contains printable characters only). The length must conform to any restrictions of the \s-1KDF\s0 algorithm. A salt parameter is required for several \s-1KDF\s0 algorithms, such as \s-1EVP_KDF-PBKDF2\s0\|(7).
"hexsalt:string" 4
Item "hexsalt:string" Alternative to the salt: option where the salt is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
"info:string" 4
Item "info:string" Some \s-1KDF\s0 implementations, such as \s-1EVP_KDF-HKDF\s0\|(7), take an 'info' parameter for binding the derived key material to application- and context-specific information. Specifies the info, fixed info, other info or shared info argument as an alphanumeric string (use if it contains printable characters only). The length must conform to any restrictions of the \s-1KDF\s0 algorithm.
"hexinfo:string" 4
Item "hexinfo:string" Alternative to the info: option where the info is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
"digest:string" 4
Item "digest:string" This option is identical to the -digest option.
"cipher:string" 4
Item "cipher:string" This option is identical to the -cipher option.
"mac:string" 4
Item "mac:string" This option is identical to the -mac option.

"-provider name" 4
Item "-provider name"

0

"-provider-path path" 4
Item "-provider-path path"
"-propquery propq" 4
Item "-propquery propq"

See \*(L"Provider Options\*(R" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).

"kdf_name" 4
Item "kdf_name" Specifies the name of a supported \s-1KDF\s0 algorithm which will be used. The supported algorithms names include \s-1TLS1-PRF, HKDF, SSKDF, PBKDF2, SSHKDF, X942KDF-ASN1, X942KDF-CONCAT, X963KDF\s0 and \s-1SCRYPT.\s0
