EVP_PKEY\-DH, EVP_PKEY\-DHX, EVP_KEYMGMT\-DH, EVP_KEYMGMT\-DHX
\&\- EVP_PKEY DH and DHX keytype and algorithm support
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
For finite field Diffie-Hellman key agreement, two classes of domain
parameters can be used: "safe" domain parameters that are associated with
approved named safe-prime groups, and a class of "FIPS186\-type" domain
parameters. FIPS186\-type domain parameters should only be used for backward
compatibility with existing applications that cannot be upgraded to use the
approved safe-prime groups.
.PP
See \fBEVP_PKEY\-FFC\fR\|(7) for more information about FFC keys.
.PP
The \fBDH\fR key type uses PKCS#3 format which saves \fIp\fR and \fIg\fR, but not the
\&\fIq\fR value.
The \fBDHX\fR key type uses X9.42 format which saves the value of \fIq\fR and this
must be used for FIPS186\-4. If key validation is required, users should be aware
of the nuances associated with FIPS186\-4 style parameters as discussed in
"DH and DHX key validation".
.SS "DH and DHX domain parameters"
.IX Subsection "DH and DHX domain parameters"
In addition to the common FFC parameters that all FFC keytypes should support
(see "FFC parameters" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-FFC\fR\|(7)) the \fBDHX\fR and \fBDH\fR keytype
implementations support the following:
.IP """group"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """group"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME) <UTF8 string>"
Sets or gets a string that associates a \fBDH\fR or \fBDHX\fR named safe prime group
with known values for \fIp\fR, \fIq\fR and \fIg\fR.
.Sp
The following values can be used by the OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers:
"ffdhe2048", "ffdhe3072", "ffdhe4096", "ffdhe6144", "ffdhe8192",
"modp_2048", "modp_3072", "modp_4096", "modp_6144", "modp_8192".
.Sp
The following additional values can also be used by OpenSSL's default provider:
"modp_1536", "dh_1024_160", "dh_2048_224", "dh_2048_256".
.Sp
DH/DHX named groups can be easily validated since the parameters are well known.
For protocols that only transfer \fIp\fR and \fIg\fR the value of \fIq\fR can also be
retrieved.
.SS "DH and DHX additional parameters"
.IX Subsection "DH and DHX additional parameters"
.IP """encoded-pub-key"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """encoded-pub-key"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENCODED_PUBLIC_KEY) <octet string>"
Used for getting and setting the encoding of the DH public key used in a key
exchange message for the TLS protocol.
See \fBEVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key()\fR.
.SS "DH additional domain parameters"
.IX Subsection "DH additional domain parameters"
.IP """safeprime-generator"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_GENERATOR\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """safeprime-generator"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_GENERATOR) <integer>"
Used for DH generation of safe primes using the old safe prime generator code.
The default value is 2.
It is recommended to use a named safe prime group instead, if domain parameter
validation is required.
.Sp
Randomly generated safe primes are not allowed by FIPS, so setting this value
for the OpenSSL FIPS provider will instead choose a named safe prime group
based on the size of \fIp\fR.
.SS "DH and DHX domain parameter / key generation parameters"
.IX Subsection "DH and DHX domain parameter / key generation parameters"
In addition to the common FFC key generation parameters that all FFC key types
should support (see "FFC key generation parameters" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-FFC\fR\|(7)) the
\&\fBDH\fR and \fBDHX\fR keytype implementation supports the following:
.IP """type"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_TYPE\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """type"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_TYPE) <UTF8 string>"
Sets the type of parameter generation. For \fBDH\fR valid values are:
.RS 4
.IP """fips186_4""" 4
.IX Item """fips186_4"""
.PD 0
.IP """default""" 4
.IX Item """default"""
.IP """fips186_2""" 4
.IX Item """fips186_2"""
.PD
These are described in "FFC key generation parameters" in \fBEVP_PKEY\-FFC\fR\|(7)
.IP """group""" 4
.IX Item """group"""
This specifies that a named safe prime name will be chosen using the "pbits"
type.
.IP """generator""" 4
.IX Item """generator"""
A safe prime generator. See the "safeprime-generator" type above.
This is only valid for \fBDH\fR keys.
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.IP """pbits"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_PBITS\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """pbits"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_PBITS) <unsigned integer>"
Sets the size (in bits) of the prime 'p'.
.Sp
For "fips186_4" this must be 2048.
For "fips186_2" this must be 1024.
For "group" this can be any one of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 or 8192.
.IP """priv_len"" (\fBOSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_PRIV_LEN\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """priv_len"" (OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_PRIV_LEN) <integer>"
An optional value to set the maximum length of the generated private key.
The default value used if this is not set is the maximum value of
BN_num_bits(\fIq\fR)). The minimum value that this can be set to is 2 * s.
Where s is the security strength of the key which has values of
112, 128, 152, 176 and 200 for key sizes of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 and 8192.
.SS "DH and DHX key validation"
.IX Subsection "DH and DHX key validation"
For keys that are not a named group the FIPS186\-4 standard specifies that the
values used for FFC parameter generation are also required for parameter
validation. This means that optional FFC domain parameter values for
\&\fIseed\fR, \fIpcounter\fR and \fIgindex\fR or \fIhindex\fR may need to be stored for
validation purposes.
For \fBDHX\fR the \fIseed\fR and \fIpcounter\fR can be stored in ASN1 data
(but the \fIgindex\fR or \fIhindex\fR cannot be stored). It is recommended to use a
\&\fBDH\fR parameters with named safe prime group instead.
.PP
With the OpenSSL FIPS provider, \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3) and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_param_check_quick\fR\|(3) behave in the following way: the parameters
are tested if they are either an approved safe prime group OR that the FFC
parameters conform to FIPS186\-4 as defined in SP800\-56Ar3 \fIAssurances of
Domain-Parameter Validity\fR.
.PP
The OpenSSL default provider uses simpler checks that allows there to be no \fIq\fR
value for backwards compatibility, however the \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3) will
test the \fIp\fR value for being a prime (and a safe prime if \fIq\fR is missing)
which can take significant time. The \fBEVP_PKEY_param_check_quick\fR\|(3) avoids
the prime tests.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3) conforms to SP800\-56Ar3
\&\fIFFC Full Public-Key Validation\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_public_check_quick\fR\|(3) conforms to SP800\-56Ar3
\&\fIFFC Partial Public-Key Validation\fR when the key is an approved named safe
prime group, otherwise it is the same as \fBEVP_PKEY_public_check\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_private_check\fR\|(3) tests that the private key is in the correct range
according to SP800\-56Ar3. The OpenSSL FIPS provider requires the value of \fIq\fR
to be set (note that this is implicitly set for named safe prime groups).
For backwards compatibility the OpenSSL default provider only requires \fIp\fR to
be set.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_pairwise_check\fR\|(3) conforms to SP800\-56Ar3
\&\fIOwner Assurance of Pair-wise Consistency\fR.

To validate \fBFIPS186\-4\fR \fBDHX\fR domain parameters decoded from \fBPEM\fR or
\&\fBDER\fR data, additional values used during generation may be required to
be set into the key.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_todata()\fR, \fBOSSL_PARAM_merge()\fR, and \fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata()\fR are useful
to add these parameters to the original key or domain parameters before
the actual validation. In production code the return values should be checked.
