| =head1 NAME |
| |
| EVP_KDF-HKDF - The HKDF EVP_KDF implementation |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| Support for computing the B<HKDF> KDF through the B<EVP_KDF> API. |
| |
| The EVP_KDF-HKDF algorithm implements the HKDF key derivation function. |
| HKDF follows the "extract-then-expand" paradigm, where the KDF logically |
| consists of two modules. The first stage takes the input keying material |
| and "extracts" from it a fixed-length pseudorandom key K. The second stage |
| "expands" the key K into several additional pseudorandom keys (the output |
| of the KDF). |
| |
| =head2 Identity |
| |
| "HKDF" is the name for this implementation; it |
| can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function. |
| |
| =head2 Supported parameters |
| |
| The supported parameters are: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string> |
| |
| =item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string> |
| |
| =item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string> |
| |
| =item "salt" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT>) <octet string> |
| |
| These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>. |
| |
| =item "info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO>) <octet string> |
| |
| This parameter sets the info value. |
| The length of the context info buffer cannot exceed 1024 bytes; |
| this should be more than enough for any normal use of HKDF. |
| |
| =item "mode" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MODE>) <UTF8 string> or <integer> |
| |
| This parameter sets the mode for the HKDF operation. |
| There are three modes that are currently defined: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item "EXTRACT_AND_EXPAND" or B<EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXTRACT_AND_EXPAND> |
| |
| This is the default mode. Calling L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> on an EVP_KDF_CTX set |
| up for HKDF will perform an extract followed by an expand operation in one go. |
| The derived key returned will be the result after the expand operation. The |
| intermediate fixed-length pseudorandom key K is not returned. |
| |
| In this mode the digest, key, salt and info values must be set before a key is |
| derived otherwise an error will occur. |
| |
| =item "EXTRACT_ONLY" or B<EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXTRACT_ONLY> |
| |
| In this mode calling L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> will just perform the extract |
| operation. The value returned will be the intermediate fixed-length pseudorandom |
| key K. The I<keylen> parameter must match the size of K, which can be looked |
| up by calling EVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size() after setting the mode and digest. |
| |
| The digest, key and salt values must be set before a key is derived otherwise |
| an error will occur. |
| |
| =item "EXPAND_ONLY" or B<EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXPAND_ONLY> |
| |
| In this mode calling L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> will just perform the expand |
| operation. The input key should be set to the intermediate fixed-length |
| pseudorandom key K returned from a previous extract operation. |
| |
| The digest, key and info values must be set before a key is derived otherwise |
| an error will occur. |

| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| A context for HKDF can be obtained by calling: |
| |
| EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "HKDF", NULL); |
| EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf); |
| |
| The output length of an HKDF expand operation is specified via the I<keylen> |
| parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function. When using |
| EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXTRACT_ONLY the I<keylen> parameter must equal the size of |
| the intermediate fixed-length pseudorandom key otherwise an error will occur. |
| For that mode, the fixed output size can be looked up by calling EVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size() |
| after setting the mode and digest on the B<EVP_KDF_CTX>. |
| |
| =head1 EXAMPLES |
| |
| This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key "secret", |
| salt value "salt" and info value "label": |
| |
| EVP_KDF *kdf; |
| EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx; |
| unsigned char out[10]; |
| OSSL_PARAM params[5], *p = params; |
| |
| kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "HKDF", NULL); |
| kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf); |
| EVP_KDF_free(kdf); |
| |
| *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST, |
| SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256)); |
| *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY, |
| "secret", (size_t)6); |
| *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO, |
| "label", (size_t)5); |
| *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT, |
| "salt", (size_t)4); |
| *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); |
| if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) { |
| error("EVP_KDF_derive"); |
| } |
| |
| EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx); |
