=head1 DESCRIPTION
All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays, in the call
of the provider initialization function. See L<provider(7)/Provider>
for a description of the initialization function.
All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from a B<OSSL_DISPATCH> element named
B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" core_gettable_params() has these:
typedef OSSL_PARAM *
(OSSL_FUNC_core_gettable_params_fn)(const OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle);
static ossl_inline OSSL_NAME_core_gettable_params_fn
OSSL_FUNC_core_gettable_params(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:

=head2 Core functions
core_gettable_params() returns a constant array of descriptor
B<OSSL_PARAM>, for parameters that core_get_params() can handle.
core_get_params() retrieves parameters from the core for the given I<handle>.
See L</Core parameters> below for a description of currently known
parameters.
The core_thread_start() function informs the core that the provider has stated
an interest in the current thread. The core will inform the provider when the
thread eventually stops. It must be passed the I<handle> for this provider, as
well as a callback I<handfn> which will be called when the thread stops. The
callback will subsequently be called, with the supplied argument I<arg>, from
the thread that is stopping and gets passed the provider context as an
argument. This may be useful to perform thread specific clean up such as
freeing thread local variables.
core_get_libctx() retrieves the library context in which the library
object for the current provider is stored, accessible through the I<handle>.
This may sometimes be useful if the provider wishes to store a
reference to its context in the same library context.
core_new_error(), core_set_error_debug() and core_vset_error() are
building blocks for reporting an error back to the core, with
reference to the I<handle>.
=over 4
=item core_new_error()
allocates a new thread specific error record.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function L<ERR_new(3)>.
=item core_set_error_debug()
sets debugging information in the current thread specific error
record.
The debugging information includes the name of the file I<file>, the
line I<line> and the function name I<func> where the error occurred.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function L<ERR_set_debug(3)>.
=item core_vset_error()
sets the I<reason> for the error, along with any addition data.
The I<reason> is a number defined by the provider and used to index
the reason strings table that's returned by
provider_get_reason_strings().
The additional data is given as a format string I<fmt> and a set of
arguments I<args>, which are treated in the same manner as with
BIO_vsnprintf().
I<file> and I<line> may also be passed to indicate exactly where the
error occurred or was reported.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function L<ERR_vset_error(3)>.
=back
The core_obj_create() function registers a new OID and associated short name
I<sn> and long name I<ln> for the given I<handle>. It is similar to the OpenSSL
function L<OBJ_create(3)> except that it returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
It will treat as success the case where the OID already exists (even if the
short name I<sn> or long name I<ln> provided as arguments differ from those
associated with the existing OID, in which case the new names are not
associated).
The core_obj_add_sigid() function registers a new composite signature algorithm
(I<sign_name>) consisting of an underlying signature algorithm (I<pkey_name>)
and digest algorithm (I<digest_name>) for the given I<handle>. It assumes that
the OIDs for the composite signature algorithm as well as for the underlying
signature and digest algorithms are either already known to OpenSSL or have been
registered via a call to core_obj_create(). It corresponds to the OpenSSL
function L<OBJ_add_sigid(3)>, except that the objects are identified by name
rather than a numeric NID. Any name (OID, short name or long name) can be used
to identify the object. It will treat as success the case where the composite
signature algorithm already exists (even if registered against a different
underlying signature or digest algorithm). It returns 1 on success or 0 on
failure.
CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_zalloc(), CRYPTO_memdup(), CRYPTO_strdup(),
CRYPTO_strndup(), CRYPTO_free(), CRYPTO_clear_free(),
CRYPTO_realloc(), CRYPTO_clear_realloc(), CRYPTO_secure_malloc(),
CRYPTO_secure_zalloc(), CRYPTO_secure_free(),
CRYPTO_secure_clear_free(), CRYPTO_secure_allocated(),
BIO_new_file(), BIO_new_mem_buf(), BIO_read_ex(), BIO_write_ex(), BIO_up_ref(),
BIO_free(), BIO_vprintf(), BIO_vsnprintf(), OPENSSL_cleanse() and
OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() correspond exactly to the public functions with
the same name. As a matter of fact, the pointers in the B<OSSL_DISPATCH>
array are typically direct pointers to those public functions. Note that the BIO
functions take an B<OSSL_CORE_BIO> type rather than the standard B<BIO>
type. This is to ensure that a provider does not mix BIOs from the core
with BIOs used on the provider side (the two are not compatible).
OSSL_SELF_TEST_set_callback() is used to set an optional callback that can be
passed into a provider. This may be ignored by a provider.
get_entropy() retrieves seeding material from the operating system.
The seeding material will have at least I<entropy> bytes of randomness and the
output will have at least I<min_len> and at most I<max_len> bytes.
The buffer address is stored in I<*pout> and the buffer length is
returned to the caller. On error, zero is returned.
cleanup_entropy() is used to clean up and free the buffer returned by
get_entropy(). The entropy pointer returned by get_entropy() is passed in
B<buf> and its length in B<len>.
get_nonce() retrieves a nonce using the passed I<salt> parameter
of length I<salt_len> and operating system specific information.
The I<salt> should contain uniquely identifying information and this is
included, in an unspecified manner, as part of the output.
The output is stored in a buffer which contrains at least I<min_len> and at
most I<max_len> bytes. The buffer address is stored in I<*pout> and the
buffer length returned to the caller. On error, zero is returned.
cleanup_nonce() is used to clean up and free the buffer returned by
get_nonce(). The nonce pointer returned by get_nonce() is passed in
B<buf> and its length in B<len>.
provider_register_child_cb() registers callbacks for being informed about the
loading and unloading of providers in the application's library context.
I<handle> is this provider's handle and I<cbdata> is this provider's data
that will be passed back to the callbacks. It returns 1 on success or 0
otherwise.
I<create_cb> is a callback that will be called when a new provider is loaded
into the application's library context. It is also called for any providers that
are already loaded at the point that this callback is registered. The callback
is passed the handle being used for the new provider being loadded and this
provider's data in I<cbdata>. It should return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
I<remove_cb> is a callback that will be called when a new provider is unloaded
from the application's library context. It is passed the handle being used for
the provider being unloaded and this provider's data in I<cbdata>. It should
return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
I<global_props_cb> is a callback that will be called when the global properties
from the parent library context are changed. It should return 1 on success
or 0 on failure.
provider_deregister_child_cb() unregisters callbacks previously registered via
provider_register_child_cb(). If provider_register_child_cb() has been called
then provider_deregister_child_cb() should be called at or before the point that
this provider's teardown function is called.
provider_name() returns a string giving the name of the provider identified by
I<handle>.
provider_get0_provider_ctx() returns the provider context that is associated
with the provider identified by I<prov>.
provider_get0_dispatch() gets the dispatch table registered by the provider
identified by I<prov> when it initialised.
provider_up_ref() increments the reference count on the provider I<prov>. If
I<activate> is nonzero then the provider is also loaded if it is not already
loaded. It returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
provider_free() decrements the reference count on the provider I<prov>. If
I<deactivate> is nonzero then the provider is also unloaded if it is not
already loaded. It returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
=head2 Provider functions
provider_teardown() is called when a provider is shut down and removed
from the core's provider store.
It must free the passed I<provctx>.
provider_gettable_params() should return a constant array of
descriptor B<OSSL_PARAM>, for parameters that provider_get_params()
can handle.
provider_get_params() should process the B<OSSL_PARAM> array
I<params>, setting the values of the parameters it understands.
provider_query_operation() should return a constant B<OSSL_ALGORITHM>
that corresponds to the given I<operation_id>.
It should indicate if the core may store a reference to this array by
setting I<*no_store> to 0 (core may store a reference) or 1 (core may
not store a reference).
provider_unquery_operation() informs the provider that the result of a
provider_query_operation() is no longer directly required and that the function
pointers have been copied. The I<operation_id> should match that passed to
provider_query_operation() and I<algs> should be its return value.
provider_get_reason_strings() should return a constant B<OSSL_ITEM>
array that provides reason strings for reason codes the provider may
use when reporting errors using core_put_error().
The provider_get_capabilities() function should call the callback I<cb> passing
it a set of B<OSSL_PARAM>s and the caller supplied argument I<arg>. The
B<OSSL_PARAM>s should provide details about the capability with the name given
in the I<capability> argument relevant for the provider context I<provctx>. If a
provider supports multiple capabilities with the given name then it may call the
callback multiple times (one for each capability). Capabilities can be useful for
describing the services that a provider can offer. For further details see the
L</CAPABILITIES> section below. It should return 1 on success or 0 on error.
The provider_self_test() function should perform known answer tests on a subset
of the algorithms that it uses, and may also verify the integrity of the
provider module. It should return 1 on success or 0 on error. It will return 1
if this function is not used.
None of these functions are mandatory, but a provider is fairly
useless without at least provider_query_operation(), and
provider_gettable_params() is fairly useless if not accompanied by
provider_get_params().
=head2 Provider parameters
provider_get_params() can return the following provider parameters to the core:
=over 4
=item "name" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_NAME>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to a string that should give a unique name for the provider.
=item "version" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_VERSION>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to a string that is a version number associated with this provider.
OpenSSL in-built providers use OPENSSL_VERSION_STR, but this may be different
for any third party provider. This string is for informational purposes only.
=item "buildinfo" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_BUILDINFO>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to a string that is a build information associated with this provider.
OpenSSL in-built providers use OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR, but this may be
different for any third party provider.
=item "status" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_STATUS>) <unsigned integer>
This returns 0 if the provider has entered an error state, otherwise it returns
1.
=back
provider_gettable_params() should return the above parameters.
=head2 Core parameters
core_get_params() can retrieve the following core parameters for each provider:
=over 4
=item "openssl-version" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_VERSION>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to the OpenSSL libraries' full version string, i.e. the string
expanded from the macro B<OPENSSL_VERSION_STR>.
=item "provider-name" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_PROV_NAME>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to the OpenSSL libraries' idea of what the calling provider is named.
=item "module-filename" (B<OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_MODULE_FILENAME>) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to a string containing the full filename of the providers
module file.
=back
Additionally, provider specific configuration parameters from the
config file are available, in dotted name form.
The dotted name form is a concatenation of section names and final
config command name separated by periods.
For example, let's say we have the following config example:
openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
providers = providers_sect
[providers_sect]
foo = foo_sect
[foo_sect]
activate = 1
data1 = 2
data2 = str
more = foo_more
[foo_more]
data3 = foo,bar
The provider will have these additional parameters available:
=over 4
=item "activate"
pointing at the string "1"
=item "data1"
pointing at the string "2"
=item "data2"
pointing at the string "str"
=item "more.data3"
pointing at the string "foo,bar"
=back
For more information on handling parameters, see L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> as
L<OSSL_PARAM_int(3)>.
=head1 CAPABILITIES
Capabilities describe some of the services that a provider can offer.
Applications can query the capabilities to discover those services.
=head3 "TLS-GROUP" Capability
The "TLS-GROUP" capability can be queried by libssl to discover the list of
TLS groups that a provider can support. Each group supported can be used for
I<key exchange> (KEX) or I<key encapsulation method> (KEM) during a TLS
handshake.
TLS clients can advertise the list of TLS groups they support in the
supported_groups extension, and TLS servers can select a group from the offered
list that they also support. In this way a provider can add to the list of
groups that libssl already supports with additional ones.
Each TLS group that a provider supports should be described via the callback
passed in through the provider_get_capabilities function. Each group should have
the following details supplied (all are mandatory, except
B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM>):
=over 4
=item "tls-group-name" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_NAME>) <UTF8 string>
The name of the group as given in the IANA TLS Supported Groups registry
L<https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-8>.
=item "tls-group-name-internal" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_NAME_INTERNAL>) <UTF8 string>
The name of the group as known by the provider. This could be the same as the
"tls-group-name", but does not have to be.
=item "tls-group-id" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_ID>) <unsigned integer>
The TLS group id value as given in the IANA TLS Supported Groups registry.
=item "tls-group-alg" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_ALG>) <UTF8 string>
The name of a Key Management algorithm that the provider offers and that should
be used with this group. Keys created should be able to support I<key exchange>
or I<key encapsulation method> (KEM), as implied by the optional
B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM> flag.
The algorithm must support key and parameter generation as well as the
key/parameter generation parameter, B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME>. The group
name given via "tls-group-name-internal" above will be passed via
B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME> when libssl wishes to generate keys/parameters.
=item "tls-group-sec-bits" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_SECURITY_BITS>) <unsigned integer>
The number of bits of security offered by keys in this group. The number of bits
should be comparable with the ones given in table 2 and 3 of the NIST SP800-57
document.
=item "tls-group-is-kem" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM>) <unsigned integer>
Boolean flag to describe if the group should be used in I<key exchange> (KEX)
mode (0, default) or in I<key encapsulation method> (KEM) mode (1).
This parameter is optional: if not specified, KEX mode is assumed as the default
mode for the group.
In KEX mode, in a typical Diffie-Hellman fashion, both sides execute I<keygen>
then I<derive> against the peer public key. To operate in KEX mode, the group
implementation must support the provider functions as described in
L<provider-keyexch(7)>.
In KEM mode, the client executes I<keygen> and sends its public key, the server
executes I<encapsulate> using the client's public key and sends back the
resulting I<ciphertext>, finally the client executes I<decapsulate> to retrieve
the same I<shared secret> generated by the server's I<encapsulate>. To operate
in KEM mode, the group implementation must support the provider functions as
described in L<provider-kem(7)>.
Both in KEX and KEM mode, the resulting I<shared secret> is then used according
to the protocol specification.
=item "tls-min-tls" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MIN_TLS>) <integer>
=item "tls-max-tls" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MAX_TLS>) <integer>
=item "tls-min-dtls" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MIN_DTLS>) <integer>
=item "tls-max-dtls" (B<OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MAX_DTLS>) <integer>
These parameters can be used to describe the minimum and maximum TLS and DTLS
versions supported by the group. The values equate to the on-the-wire encoding
of the various TLS versions. For example TLSv1.3 is 0x0304 (772 decimal), and
TLSv1.2 is 0x0303 (771 decimal). A 0 indicates that there is no defined minimum
or maximum. A -1 indicates that the group should not be used in that protocol.
