Dimitri John Ledkov 6f08353a4b doc: EVP_KDF document the semantic meaning of output
Explicitely document what semantic meaning do various EVP_KDF
algorithms produce.

PBKDF2 produces cryptographic keys that are subject to cryptographic
security measures, for example as defined in NIST SP 800-132.

All other algorithms produce keying material, not subject to explicit
output length checks in any known standards.

=head1 NAME
EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF - The TLS1 PRF EVP_KDF implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for computing the B<TLS1> PRF through the B<EVP_KDF> API.
The EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF algorithm implements the PRF used by TLS versions up to
and including TLS 1.2.
The output is considered to be keying material.
=head2 Identity
"TLS1-PRF" 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>
These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
The B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST> parameter is used to set 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<MD5> and B<SHA1> as used in TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
=item "secret" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>
This parameter sets the secret value of the TLS PRF.
Any existing secret value is replaced.
=item "seed" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED>) <octet string>
This parameter sets the context seed.
The length of the context seed cannot exceed 1024 bytes;
this should be more than enough for any normal use of the TLS PRF.
=back
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
=over 4
=item "fips-indicator" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR>) <integer>
A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
This may be used after calling EVP_KDF_derive. It returns 0 if any "***-check"
related parameter is set to 0 and the check fails.
=item "ems_check" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_EMS_CHECK>) <integer>
The default value of 1 causes an error during EVP_KDF_derive() if
"master secret" is used instead of "extended master secret" Setting this to zero
will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.
=item "digest-check" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK>) <integer>
The default value of 1 causes an error during EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if
used digest is not approved.
Setting this to zero will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.
According to SP 800-135r1, the following are approved digest algorithms:
SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512.
=item "key-check" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK>) <integer>
The default value of 1 causes an error during EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if the
length of used key-derivation key (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) is shorter than 112
bits.
Setting this to zero will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.

=head1 NOTES
A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", NULL);
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived otherwise
an error will occur.
The output length of the PRF is specified by the I<keylen> parameter to the
EVP_KDF_derive() function.
=head1 EXAMPLES
This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key "secret"
and seed value "seed":
EVP_KDF *kdf;
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char out[10];
OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;
kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", 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_SECRET,
"secret", (size_t)6);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED,
"seed", (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);
