=head1 DESCRIPTION
This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
for further information.
The KDF operation enables providers to implement KDF algorithms and make
them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_KDF_CTX_reset(3)>,
and L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)>.
All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in B<OSSL_DISPATCH> arrays via
B<OSSL_ALGORITHM> arrays that are returned by the provider's
provider_query_operation() function
(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).
All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an B<OSSL_DISPATCH> element named
B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() has these:
typedef void *(OSSL_OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
static ossl_inline OSSL_OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
B<OSSL_DISPATCH> array entries are identified by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx OSSL_FUNC_KDF_NEWCTX
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx OSSL_FUNC_KDF_FREECTX
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_KDF_DUPCTX
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset OSSL_FUNC_KDF_RESET
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive OSSL_FUNC_KDF_DERIVE
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GET_PARAMS
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GET_CTX_PARAMS
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_SET_CTX_PARAMS
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GETTABLE_PARAMS
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KDF_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
A KDF algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
In order to be a consistent set of functions, at least the following functions
must be implemented: OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx(),
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive().
All other functions are optional.
=head2 Context Management Functions
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side
structure for holding context information during a KDF operation.
A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other KDF
operation function calls.
The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side KDF context in
the I<kctx> parameter.
If it receives NULL as I<kctx> value, it should not do anything other than
return.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side KDF context in the
I<kctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.
=head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset() initialises a KDF operation given a provider
side KDF context in the I<kctx> parameter.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive() performs the KDF operation.
The I<kctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
The resulting key of the desired I<keylen> should be written to I<key>.
If the algorithm does not support the requested I<keylen> the function must
return error.
=head2 KDF Parameters
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
these functions.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params() gets details of parameter values associated with the
provider algorithm and stores them in I<params>.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params() sets KDF parameters associated with the given
provider side KDF context I<kctx> to I<params>.
Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params() retrieves gettable parameter values associated
with the given provider side KDF context I<kctx> and stores them in I<params>.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params(), and
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() all return constant B<OSSL_PARAM> arrays
as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params(),
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params() can handle,
respectively.
Parameters currently recognised by built-in KDFs are as follows. Not all
parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all KDFs:
=over 4
=item "size" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
Gets the output size from the associated KDF ctx.
If the algorithm produces a variable amount of output, SIZE_MAX should be
returned.
If the input parameters required to calculate the fixed output size have not yet
been supplied, 0 should be returned indicating an error.
=item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
Sets the key in the associated KDF ctx.
