5EVP_KDF-X963 - The X9.63-2001 EVP_KDF implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9The EVP_KDF-X963 algorithm implements the key derivation function (X963KDF).
10X963KDF is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) for EC KeyAgreement, to
11derive a key using input such as a shared secret key and shared info.
12
13=head2 Identity
14
15"X963KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
16can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
17
18=head2 Supported parameters
19
20The supported parameters are:
21
22=over 4
23
24=item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
25
26=item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
27
28These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
29
30=item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
31
32The shared secret used for key derivation.
33This parameter sets the secret.
34
35=item "info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO>) <octet string>
36
37This parameter specifies an optional value for shared info.
38
39=back
40
41=head1 NOTES
42
43X963KDF is very similar to the SSKDF that uses a digest as the auxiliary function,
44X963KDF appends the counter to the secret, whereas SSKDF prepends the counter.
45
46A context for X963KDF can be obtained by calling:
47
48 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
49 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
50
51The output length of an X963KDF is specified via the I<keylen>
52parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.
53
54=head1 EXAMPLES
55
56This example derives 10 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and sharedinfo
57value "label":
58
59 EVP_KDF *kdf;
60 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
61 unsigned char out[10];
62 OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;
63
64 kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
65 kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
66 EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
67
68 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST,
69                                         SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256));
70 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
71                                          "secret", (size_t)6);
72 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO,
73                                          "label", (size_t)5);
74 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
75 if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
76     error("EVP_KDF_derive");
77 }
78
79 EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
