It has no associated private key and only implements key derivation +using EVP_PKEY_derive(). + +EVP_PKEY_set_tls1_prf_md() sets the message digest associated with the +TLS PRF. EVP_md5_sha1() is treated as a special case which uses the PRF +algorithm using both B and B as used in TLS 1.0 and 1.1. + +EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_secret() sets the secret value of the TLS PRF +to B bytes of the buffer B. Any existing secret value is replaced +and any seed is reset. + +EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed() sets the seed to B bytes of B. +If a seed is already set it is appended to the existing value. + +=head1 NOTES + +All these functions are implemented as macros. + +A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling: + + EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_new_id(EVP_PKEY_TLS1_PRF, NULL); + +The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived or an +error occurs. + +The total length of all seeds cannot exceed 1024 bytes in length: this should +be more than enough for any normal use of the TLS PRF. + +The output length of the PRF is specified by the length parameter in the +EVP_PKEY_derive() function. Since the output length is variable, setting +the buffer to B is not meaningful for the TLS PRF. + +Optimised versions of the TLS PRF can be implemented in an ENGINE. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. +In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by +the public key algorithm. + +=head1 EXAMPLE + +This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key "secret" +and seed value "seed": + + EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx; + unsigned char out[10]; + size_t outlen = sizeof(out); + pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_TLS1_PRF, NULL); + if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(pctx) <= 0) + /* Error */ + if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md(pctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0) + /* Error */ + if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_tls1_prf_secret(pctx, "secret", 6) <= 0) + /* Error */ + if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed(pctx, "seed", 4) <= 0) + /* Error */ + if (EVP_PKEY_derive(pctx, out, &outlen) <= 0) + /* Error */ + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, +L, + +=cut
