  114. .SH DESCRIPTION
  115. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  116. The EVP KDF routines are a high-level interface to Key Derivation Function
  117. algorithms and should be used instead of algorithm-specific functions.
  118. .PP
  119. After creating a \fBEVP_KDF_CTX\fR for the required algorithm using
  120. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_new()\fR, inputs to the algorithm are supplied either by
  121. passing them as part of the \fBEVP_KDF_derive()\fR call or using calls
  122. to \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR before calling \fBEVP_KDF_derive()\fR to derive
  123. the key.
  124. .SS Types
  125. .IX Subsection "Types"
  126. \&\fBEVP_KDF\fR is a type that holds the implementation of a KDF.
  127. .PP
  128. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX\fR is a context type that holds the algorithm inputs.
  129. .SS "Algorithm implementation fetching"
  130. .IX Subsection "Algorithm implementation fetching"
  131. \&\fBEVP_KDF_fetch()\fR fetches an implementation of a KDF \fIalgorithm\fR, given
  132. a library context \fIlibctx\fR and a set of \fIproperties\fR.
  133. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
  134. .PP
  135. See "Key Derivation Function (KDF)" in \fBOSSL_PROVIDER\-default\fR\|(7) for the lists of
  136. algorithms supported by the default provider.
  137. .PP
  138. The returned value must eventually be freed with
  139. \&\fBEVP_KDF_free\fR\|(3).
  140. .PP
  141. \&\fBEVP_KDF_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count of an already fetched
  142. KDF.
  143. .PP
  144. \&\fBEVP_KDF_free()\fR frees a fetched algorithm.
  145. NULL is a valid parameter, for which this function is a no-op.
  146. .SS "Context manipulation functions"
  147. .IX Subsection "Context manipulation functions"
  148. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_new()\fR creates a new context for the KDF implementation \fIkdf\fR.
  149. .PP
  150. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_free()\fR frees up the context \fIctx\fR. If \fIctx\fR is NULL, nothing
  151. is done.
  152. .PP
  153. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_kdf()\fR returns the \fBEVP_KDF\fR associated with the context
  154. \&\fIctx\fR.
  155. .SS "Computing functions"
  156. .IX Subsection "Computing functions"
  157. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_reset()\fR resets the context to the default state as if the context
  158. had just been created.
  159. .PP
  160. \&\fBEVP_KDF_derive()\fR processes any parameters in \fIParams\fR and then derives
  161. \&\fIkeylen\fR bytes of key material and places it in the \fIkey\fR buffer.
  162. If the algorithm produces a fixed amount of output then an error will
  163. occur unless the \fIkeylen\fR parameter is equal to that output size,
  164. as returned by \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size()\fR.
  165. .PP
  166. \&\fBEVP_KDF_get_params()\fR retrieves details about the implementation
  167. \&\fIkdf\fR.
  168. The set of parameters given with \fIparams\fR determine exactly what
  169. parameters should be retrieved.
  170. Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
  171. simply ignored.
  172. .PP
  173. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_get_params()\fR retrieves chosen parameters, given the
  174. context \fIctx\fR and its underlying context.
  175. The set of parameters given with \fIparams\fR determine exactly what
  176. parameters should be retrieved.
  177. Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
  178. simply ignored.
  179. .PP
  180. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR passes chosen parameters to the underlying
  181. context, given a context \fIctx\fR.
  182. The set of parameters given with \fIparams\fR determine exactly what
  183. parameters are passed down.
  184. Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
  185. simply ignored.
  186. Also, what happens when a needed parameter isn't passed down is
  187. defined by the implementation.
  188. .PP
  189. \&\fBEVP_KDF_gettable_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that describes
  190. the retrievable and settable parameters. \fBEVP_KDF_gettable_params()\fR
  191. returns parameters that can be used with \fBEVP_KDF_get_params()\fR.
  192. .PP
  193. \&\fBEVP_KDF_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_gettable_params()\fR
  194. return constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) arrays that describe the retrievable
  195. parameters that can be used with \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_get_params()\fR.
  196. \&\fBEVP_KDF_gettable_ctx_params()\fR returns the parameters that can be retrieved
  197. from the algorithm, whereas \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_gettable_params()\fR returns
  198. the parameters that can be retrieved in the context's current state.
  199. .PP
  200. \&\fBEVP_KDF_settable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_settable_params()\fR return
  201. constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) arrays that describe the settable parameters that
  202. can be used with \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR. \fBEVP_KDF_settable_ctx_params()\fR
  203. returns the parameters that can be retrieved from the algorithm,
  204. whereas \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_settable_params()\fR returns the parameters that can
  205. be retrieved in the context's current state.
  206. .SS "Information functions"
  207. .IX Subsection "Information functions"
  208. \&\fBEVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size()\fR returns the output size if the algorithm produces a fixed amount
  209. of output and \fBSIZE_MAX\fR otherwise. If an error occurs then 0 is returned.
  210. For some algorithms an error may result if input parameters necessary to
  211. calculate a fixed output size have not yet been supplied.
  212. .PP
  213. \&\fBEVP_KDF_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIkdf\fR is an implementation of an
  214. algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0.
  215. .PP
  216. \&\fBEVP_KDF_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that holds the implementation
  217. of the given \fIkdf\fR.
  218. .PP
  219. \&\fBEVP_KDF_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all KDF implemented by all activated
  220. providers in the given library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each of the
  221. implementations, calls the given function \fIfn\fR with the implementation method
  222. and the given \fIarg\fR as argument.
  223. .PP
  224. \&\fBEVP_KDF_get0_name()\fR return the name of the given KDF. For fetched KDFs
  225. with multiple names, only one of them is returned; it's
  226. recommended to use \fBEVP_KDF_names_do_all()\fR instead.
  227. .PP
  228. \&\fBEVP_KDF_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for \fIkdf\fR, and calls
  229. \&\fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
  230. .PP
  231. \&\fBEVP_KDF_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIkdf\fR, meant for
  232. display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of
  233. the \fIkdf\fR implementation.
  234. .SH PARAMETERS
  235. .IX Header "PARAMETERS"

  264. For KDF implementations that use an underlying computation MAC, digest or

  266. .Sp
  267. The value is always the name of the intended algorithm,
  268. or the properties.
  269. .Sp

  271. implementations.
  272. .IP """key"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY\fR) <octet string>" 4

  279. Some KDF implementations, such as \fBEVP_KDF\-HKDF\fR\|(7), take an 'info' parameter
  280. for binding the derived key material
  281. to application\- and context-specific information.
  282. This parameter sets the info, fixed info, other info or shared info argument.
  283. You can specify this parameter multiple times, and each instance will

  293. .IP """maxmem_bytes"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_SCRYPT_MAXMEM\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
  294. .IX Item """maxmem_bytes"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SCRYPT_MAXMEM) <unsigned integer>"
  295. Memory-hard password-based KDF algorithms, such as scrypt, use an amount of
  296. memory that depends on the load factors provided as input.
  297. For those KDF implementations that support it, this \fBuint64_t\fR parameter sets
  298. an upper limit on the amount of memory that may be consumed while performing
  299. a key derivation.
  300. If this memory usage limit is exceeded because the load factors are chosen
  301. too high, the key derivation will fail.
  302. .Sp
  303. The default value is implementation dependent.
  304. The memory size must never exceed what can be given with a \fBsize_t\fR.
  305. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  306. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
