=head1 NAME

EVP_KDF-X942-ASN1 - The X9.42-2003 asn1 EVP_KDF implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The EVP_KDF-X942-ASN1 algorithm implements the key derivation function
X942KDF-ASN1. It is used by DH KeyAgreement, to derive a key using input such as
a shared secret key and other info. The other info is DER encoded data that
contains a 32 bit counter as well as optional fields for "partyu-info",
"partyv-info", "supp-pubinfo" and "supp-privinfo".
This kdf is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

The output is considered to be keying material.

=head2 Identity

"X942KDF-ASN1" or "X942KDF" 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>.

=item "secret" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>

The shared secret used for key derivation.  This parameter sets the secret.

=item "acvp-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_ACVPINFO>) <octet string>

This value should not be used in production and should only be used for ACVP
testing. It is an optional octet string containing a combined DER encoded blob
of any of the optional fields related to "partyu-info", "partyv-info",
"supp-pubinfo" and "supp-privinfo". If it is specified then none of these other
fields should be used.

=item "partyu-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_PARTYUINFO>) <octet string>

An optional octet string containing public info contributed by the initiator.

=item "ukm" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_UKM>) <octet string>

An alias for "partyu-info".
In CMS this is the user keying material.

=item "partyv-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_PARTYVINFO>) <octet string>

An optional octet string containing public info contributed by the responder.

=item "supp-pubinfo" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_SUPP_PUBINFO>) <octet string>

An optional octet string containing some additional, mutually-known public
information. Setting this value also sets "use-keybits" to 0.

=item "use-keybits" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_USE_KEYBITS>) <integer>

The default value of 1 will use the KEK key length (in bits) as the
"supp-pubinfo". A value of 0 disables setting the "supp-pubinfo".

=item "supp-privinfo" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_SUPP_PRIVINFO>) <octet string>

An optional octet string containing some additional, mutually-known private
information.

=item "cekalg" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_CEK_ALG>) <UTF8 string>

This parameter sets the CEK wrapping algorithm name.
Valid values are "AES-128-WRAP", "AES-192-WRAP", "AES-256-WRAP" and "DES3-WRAP".

=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 "key-check"
parameter is set to 0 and the check fails.

=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_KEY>) 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.

=back

=head1 NOTES

A context for X942KDF can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X942KDF", NULL);
 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);

The output length of an X942KDF is specified via the I<keylen>
parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.

=head1 EXAMPLES

This example derives 24 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and random user
keying material:

  EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
  EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
  unsigned char out[192/8];
  unsignred char ukm[64];
  OSSL_PARAM params[5], *p = params;

  if (RAND_bytes(ukm, sizeof(ukm)) <= 0)
      error("RAND_bytes");

  kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X942KDF", NULL);
  if (kctx == NULL)
      error("EVP_KDF_fetch");
  kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
  EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
  if (kctx == NULL)
      error("EVP_KDF_CTX_new");

  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST, "SHA256", 0);
  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
                                           "secret", (size_t)6);
  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_UKM, ukm, sizeof(ukm));
  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_CEK_ALG, "AES-256-WRAP, 0);
  *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
  if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0)
      error("EVP_KDF_derive");

  EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
