7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Key exchange support for the B<ECDH> key type.
10
11=head2 ECDH Key Exchange parameters
12
13=over 4
14
15=item "ecdh-cofactor-mode" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_EC_ECDH_COFACTOR_MODE>) <integer>
16
17Sets or gets the ECDH mode of operation for the associated key exchange ctx.
18
19In the context of an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange, this parameter
20can be used to select between the plain Diffie-Hellman (DH) or Cofactor
21Diffie-Hellman (CDH) variants of the key exchange algorithm.
22
23When setting, the value should be 1, 0 or -1, respectively forcing cofactor mode
24on, off, or resetting it to the default for the private key associated with the
25given key exchange ctx.
26
27When getting, the value should be either 1 or 0, respectively signaling if the
28cofactor mode is on or off.
29
30See also L<provider-keymgmt(7)> for the related
31B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH> parameter that can be set on a
32per-key basis.

56=head1 EXAMPLES
57
58Keys for the host and peer must be generated as shown in
59L<EVP_PKEY-EC(7)/Examples> using the same curve name.
60
61The code to generate a shared secret for the normal case is identical to
62L<EVP_KEYEXCH-DH(7)/Examples>.
63
64To derive a shared secret on the host using the host's key and the peer's public
65key but also using X963KDF with a user key material:
66
67    /* It is assumed that the host_key, peer_pub_key and ukm are set up */
68    void derive_secret(EVP_PKEY *host_key, EVP_PKEY *peer_key,
69                       unsigned char *ukm, size_t ukm_len)
70    {
71        unsigned char secret[64];
72        size_t out_len = sizeof(secret);
73        size_t secret_len = out_len;
74        unsigned int pad = 1;
75        OSSL_PARAM params[6];
76        EVP_PKEY_CTX *dctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, host_key, NULL);
77
78        EVP_PKEY_derive_init(dctx);
79
80        params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD, &pad);
81        params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_TYPE,
82                                                     "X963KDF", 0);
83        params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST,
84                                                     "SHA1", 0);
85        params[3] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_size_t(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_OUTLEN,
86                                                &out_len);
87        params[4] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM,
88                                                      ukm, ukm_len);
89        params[5] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
90        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(dctx, params);
91
92        EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(dctx, peer_pub_key);
93        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, secret, &secret_len);
94        ...
95        OPENSSL_clear_free(secret, secret_len);
96        EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(dctx);
