     40 =head1 DESCRIPTION
     41 
     42 This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
     43 for further information.
     44 
     45 The KDF operation enables providers to implement KDF algorithms and make
     46 them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_KDF_CTX_reset(3)>,
     47 and L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)>.
     48 
     49 All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
     50 F<libcrypto> and the provider in L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays via
     51 L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> arrays that are returned by the provider's
     52 provider_query_operation() function
     53 (see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).
     54 
     55 All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
     56 named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
     57 function pointer from an L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> element named
     58 B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
     59 For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() has these:
     60 
     61  typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
     62  static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn
     63      OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
     64 
     65 L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> array entries are identified by numbers that are provided as
     66 macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:
     67 
     68  OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx               OSSL_FUNC_KDF_NEWCTX
     69  OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx              OSSL_FUNC_KDF_FREECTX

     81  OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_KDF_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
     82 
     83 A KDF algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
     84 In order to be a consistent set of functions, at least the following functions
     85 must be implemented: OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx(),
     86 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive().
     87 All other functions are optional.
     88 
     89 =head2 Context Management Functions
     90 
     91 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side
     92 structure for holding context information during a KDF operation.
     93 A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other KDF
     94 operation function calls.
     95 The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
     96 initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).
     97 
     98 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side KDF context in
     99 the I<kctx> parameter.
    100 If it receives NULL as I<kctx> value, it should not do anything other than
    101 return.
    102 This function should free any resources associated with that context.
    103 
    104 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side KDF context in the
    105 I<kctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.
    106 
    107 =head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions
    108 
    109 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset() initialises a KDF operation given a provider
    110 side KDF context in the I<kctx> parameter.
    111 
    112 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive() performs the KDF operation after processing the
    113 I<params> as per OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params().
    114 The I<kctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
    115 The resulting key of the desired I<keylen> should be written to I<key>.
    116 If the algorithm does not support the requested I<keylen> the function must
    117 return error.
    118 
    119 =head2 KDF Parameters
    120 
    121 See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
    122 these functions.
    123 
    124 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params() gets details of parameter values associated with the
    125 provider algorithm and stores them in I<params>.
    126 
    127 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params() sets KDF parameters associated with the given
    128 provider side KDF context I<kctx> to I<params>.
    129 Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
    130 Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.
    131 
    132 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params() retrieves gettable parameter values associated
    133 with the given provider side KDF context I<kctx> and stores them in I<params>.
    134 Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.
    135 
    136 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params(),
    137 and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() all return constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
    138 arrays as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_params(),
    139 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params()
    140 can handle, respectively.  OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params() and
    141 OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() will return the parameters associated
    142 with the provider side context I<kctx> in its current state if it is
    143 not NULL.  Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
    144 provider side algorithm I<provctx>.
    145 
    146 
    147 Parameters currently recognised by built-in KDFs are as follows. Not all
    148 parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all KDFs:

    153 
    154 Gets the output size from the associated KDF ctx.
    155 If the algorithm produces a variable amount of output, SIZE_MAX should be
    156 returned.
    157 If the input parameters required to calculate the fixed output size have not yet
    158 been supplied, 0 should be returned indicating an error.

    335 
    336 =head1 NOTES
    337 
    338 The KDF life-cycle is described in L<life_cycle-kdf(7)>.  Providers should
    339 ensure that the various transitions listed there are supported.  At some point
    340 the EVP layer will begin enforcing the listed transitions.
