  97. .SH DESCRIPTION
  98. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  99. This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
  100. for further information.
  101. .PP
  102. The key exchange (OSSL_OP_KEYEXCH) operation enables providers to implement key
  103. exchange algorithms and make them available to applications via
  104. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_derive\fR\|(3) and
  105. other related functions).
  106. .PP
  107. All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
  108. \&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays via
  109. \&\fBOSSL_ALGORITHM\fR\|(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's
  110. \&\fBprovider_query_operation()\fR function
  111. (see "Provider Functions" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)).
  112. .PP
  113. All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
  114. named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
  115. function pointer from an \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) element named
  116. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR.
  117. For example, the "function" \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx()\fR has these:
  118. .PP
  119. .Vb 3
  120. \& typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
  121. \& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx_fn
  122. \& OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
  123. .Ve
  124. .PP
  125. \&\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
  126. macros in \fBopenssl\-core_dispatch.h\fR\|(7), as follows:
  127. .PP
  128. .Vb 3
  129. \& OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_NEWCTX

  141. .Ve
  142. .PP
  143. A key exchange algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
  144. In order to be a consistent set of functions a provider must implement
  145. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_freectx, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive.
  146. All other functions are optional.
  147. .PP
  148. A key exchange algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating,
  149. loading or importing keys via the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation.
  150. See \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7) for further details.
  151. .SS "Context Management Functions"
  152. .IX Subsection "Context Management Functions"
  153. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx()\fR should create and return a pointer to a provider side
  154. structure for holding context information during a key exchange operation.
  155. A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other key
  156. exchange operation function calls.
  157. The parameter \fIprovctx\fR is the provider context generated during provider
  158. initialisation (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7)).
  159. .PP
  160. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_freectx()\fR is passed a pointer to the provider side key exchange
  161. context in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
  162. This function should free any resources associated with that context.
  163. .PP
  164. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_dupctx()\fR should duplicate the provider side key exchange context in
  165. the \fIctx\fR parameter and return the duplicate copy.
  166. .SS "Shared Secret Derivation Functions"
  167. .IX Subsection "Shared Secret Derivation Functions"
  168. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init()\fR initialises a key exchange operation given a provider side key
  169. exchange context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object
  170. in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
  171. The \fIparams\fR, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to
  172. using \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_params()\fR.
  173. The key object should have been previously
  174. generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management
  175. (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
  176. .PP
  177. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_peer()\fR is called to supply the peer's public key (in the
  178. \&\fIprovkey\fR parameter) to be used when deriving the shared secret.
  179. It is also passed a previously initialised key exchange context in the \fIctx\fR
  180. parameter.
  181. The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
  182. the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see
  183. \&\fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
  184. .PP
  185. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive()\fR performs the actual key exchange itself by deriving a shared
  186. secret.
  187. A previously initialised key exchange context is passed in the \fIctx\fR
  188. parameter.
  189. The derived secret should be written to the location \fIsecret\fR which should not
  190. exceed \fIoutlen\fR bytes.
  191. The length of the shared secret should be written to \fI*secretlen\fR.
  192. If \fIsecret\fR is NULL then the maximum length of the shared secret should be
  193. written to \fI*secretlen\fR.
  194. .SS "Key Exchange Parameters Functions"
  195. .IX Subsection "Key Exchange Parameters Functions"
  196. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params()\fR sets key exchange parameters associated with the
  197. given provider side key exchange context \fIctx\fR to \fIparams\fR,
  198. see "Common Key Exchange parameters".
  199. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
  200. Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true.
  201. .PP
  202. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params()\fR gets key exchange parameters associated with the
  203. given provider side key exchange context \fIctx\fR into \fIparams\fR,
  204. see "Common Key Exchange parameters".
  205. Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true.
  206. .PP
  207. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params()\fR yields a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that
  208. describes the settable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with
  209. \&\fBOP_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR.
  210. If \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params()\fR is present, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params()\fR must
  211. also be present, and vice versa.
  212. Similarly, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params()\fR yields a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3)
  213. array that describes the gettable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be
  214. handled by \fBOP_signature_get_ctx_params()\fR.
  215. If \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params()\fR is present, \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params()\fR must
  216. also be present, and vice versa.
  217. .PP
  218. Notice that not all settable parameters are also gettable, and vice versa.
  219. .SS "Common Key Exchange parameters"
  220. .IX Subsection "Common Key Exchange parameters"
  221. See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by
  222. the \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params()\fR functions.
  223. .PP
  224. Common parameters currently recognised by built-in key exchange algorithms are
  225. as follows.
  226. .IP """kdf-type"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_TYPE\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
  227. .IX Item """kdf-type"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_TYPE) <UTF8 string>"
  228. Sets or gets the Key Derivation Function type to apply within the associated key
  229. exchange ctx.
  230. .IP """kdf-digest"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
  231. .IX Item """kdf-digest"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
  232. Sets or gets the Digest algorithm to be used as part of the Key Derivation Function
  233. associated with the given key exchange ctx.
  234. .IP """kdf-digest-props"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST_PROPS\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
  235. .IX Item """kdf-digest-props"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST_PROPS) <UTF8 string>"
  236. Sets properties to be used upon look up of the implementation for the selected
  237. Digest algorithm for the Key Derivation Function associated with the given key
  238. exchange ctx.
  239. .IP """kdf-outlen"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_OUTLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
  240. .IX Item """kdf-outlen"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_OUTLEN) <unsigned integer>"
  241. Sets or gets the desired size for the output of the chosen Key Derivation Function
  242. associated with the given key exchange ctx.
  243. The length of the "kdf-outlen" parameter should not exceed that of a \fBsize_t\fR.
  244. .IP """kdf-ukm"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM\fR) <octet string>" 4
  245. .IX Item """kdf-ukm"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM) <octet string>"
  246. Sets the User Key Material to be used as part of the selected Key Derivation
  247. Function associated with the given key exchange ctx.
  248. .IP """kdf-ukm"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM\fR) <octet string ptr>" 4
  249. .IX Item """kdf-ukm"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM) <octet string ptr>"
  250. Gets a pointer to the User Key Material to be used as part of the selected
  251. Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. Providers
  252. usually do not need to support this gettable parameter as its sole purpose
  253. is to support functionality of the deprecated \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm()\fR
  254. and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm()\fR functions.
  255. .PP
  256. The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
  257. .IP """fips-indicator"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR\fR) <integer>" 4
  258. .IX Item """fips-indicator"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>"
  259. A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
  260. This may be used after calling \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive()\fR. It may
  261. return 0 if either the "digest-check" or the "key-check" are set to 0.
  262. .IP """key-check"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
  263. .IX Item """key-check"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>"
  264. If required this parameter should be set using \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init()\fR.
  265. The default value of 1 causes an error during the init if the key is not FIPS
  266. approved (e.g. The key has a security strength of less than 112 bits). Setting
  267. this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0.
  268. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
  269. to return 0.
  270. .IP """digest-check"" (\fBOSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
  271. .IX Item """digest-check"" (OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>"
  272. If required this parameter should be set before any optional digest is set.
  273. The default value of 1 causes an error when the digest is set if the digest is
  274. not FIPS approved. Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the
  275. approved "fips-indicator" to 0.
  276. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
  277. to return 0.
  278. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  279. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  280. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_keyexch_dupctx()\fR should return the newly created
