10Key exchange support for the B<DH> key type.
11
12=head2 DH key exchange parameters
13
14=over 4
15
16=item "pad" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD>) <unsigned integer>
17
18Sets the padding mode for the associated key exchange ctx.
19Setting a value of 1 will turn padding on.
20Setting a value of 0 will turn padding off.
21If padding is off then the derived shared secret may be smaller than the
22largest possible secret size.
23If padding is on then the derived shared secret will have its first bytes
24filled with zeros where necessary to make the shared secret the same size as
25the largest possible secret size.
26The padding mode parameter is ignored (and padding implicitly enabled) when
27the KDF type is set to "X942KDF-ASN1" (B<OSSL_KDF_NAME_X942KDF_ASN1>).

55=head1 EXAMPLES
56
57The examples assume a host and peer both generate keys using the same
58named group (or domain parameters). See L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/Examples>.
59Both the host and peer transfer their public key to each other.
60
61To convert the peer's generated key pair to a public key in DER format in order
62to transfer to the host:
63
64    EVP_PKEY *peer_key; /* It is assumed this contains the peers generated key */
65    unsigned char *peer_pub_der = NULL;
66    int peer_pub_der_len;
67
68    peer_pub_der_len = i2d_PUBKEY(peer_key, &peer_pub_der);
69    ...
70    OPENSSL_free(peer_pub_der);
71
72To convert the received peer's public key from DER format on the host:
73
74    const unsigned char *pd = peer_pub_der;
75    EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key = d2i_PUBKEY(NULL, &pd, peer_pub_der_len);
76    ...
77    EVP_PKEY_free(peer_pub_key);
78
79To derive a shared secret on the host using the host's key and the peer's public
80key:
81
82    /* It is assumed that the host_key and peer_pub_key are set up */
83    void derive_secret(EVP_KEY *host_key, EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key)
84    {
85        unsigned int pad = 1;
86        OSSL_PARAM params[2];
87        unsigned char *secret = NULL;
88        size_t secret_len = 0;
89        EVP_PKEY_CTX *dctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, host_key, NULL);
90
91        EVP_PKEY_derive_init(dctx);
92
93        /* Optionally set the padding */
94        params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD, &pad);
95        params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
96        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(dctx, params);
97
98        EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(dctx, peer_pub_key);
99
100        /* Get the size by passing NULL as the buffer */
101        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, NULL, &secret_len);
102        secret = OPENSSL_zalloc(secret_len);
103
104        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, secret, &secret_len);
105        ...
106        OPENSSL_clear_free(secret, secret_len);
107        EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(dctx);
108    }
109
110Very similar code can be used by the peer to derive the same shared secret
111using the host's public key and the peer's generated key pair.
