NAME

       EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG EVP_RAND implementation

DESCRIPTION

       Support for the HMAC deterministic random bit generator through the EVP_RAND API.

   Identity
       "HMAC-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_RAND_fetch()
       function.

   Supported parameters
       The supported parameters are:

       "state" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>
       "strength" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>
       "max_request" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_requests" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_time_interval" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>
       "min_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "min_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_perslen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_adinlen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_counter" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>
       "properties" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
       "mac" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC) <UTF8 string>
       "digest" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND(3).

NOTES

       A context for HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:

        EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
        EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand);

EXAMPLES

        EVP_RAND *rand;
        EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
        unsigned char bytes[100];
        OSSL_PARAM params[3], *p = params;
        unsigned int strength = 128;

        rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
        rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
        EVP_RAND_free(rand);

        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC, SN_hmac, 0);
        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, 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);
