=head1 NAME
EVP_RAND-HASH-DRBG - The HASH DRBG EVP_RAND implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for the hash deterministic random bit generator through the
B<EVP_RAND> API.
=head2 Identity
"HASH-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
=head2 Supported parameters
The supported parameters are:
=over 4
=item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer>
=item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer>
=item "max_request" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST>) <unsigned integer>
=item "reseed_requests" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS>) <unsigned integer>
=item "reseed_time_interval" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL>) <integer>
=item "min_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "max_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "min_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "max_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "max_perslen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "max_adinlen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN>) <unsigned integer>
=item "reseed_counter" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER>) <unsigned integer>
=item "properties" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
=item "digest" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
These parameters work as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>.
=back
=head1 NOTES
When the FIPS provider is installed using the B<-no_drbg_truncated_digests>
option to fipsinstall, only these digests are permitted (as per
L<FIPS 140-3 IG D.R|https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>):
=over 4
=item SHA-1
=item SHA2-256
=item SHA2-512
=item SHA3-256
=item SHA3-512
=back
A context for HASH DRBG can be obtained by calling:
EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HASH-DRBG", NULL);
EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
=head1 EXAMPLES
EVP_RAND *rand;
EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
unsigned char bytes[100];
OSSL_PARAM params[2], *p = params;
unsigned int strength = 128;
rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HASH-DRBG", NULL);
rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
EVP_RAND_free(rand);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha512, 0);
*p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params);
EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0);
EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx);

=head1 HISTORY
OpenSSL 3.1.1 introduced the B<-no_drbg_truncated_digests> option to
fipsinstall which restricts the permitted digests when using the FIPS
provider in a complaint manner. For details refer to
L<FIPS 140-3 IG D.R|https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>.
