DESCRIPTION

       These types and functions help the application to calculate MACs of different types and
       with different underlying algorithms if there are any.

       MACs are a bit complex insofar that some of them use other algorithms for actual
       computation.  HMAC uses a digest, and CMAC uses a cipher.  Therefore, there are sometimes
       two contexts to keep track of, one for the MAC algorithm itself and one for the underlying
       computation algorithm if there is one.

       To make things less ambiguous, this manual talks about a "context" or "MAC context", which
       is to denote the MAC level context, and about a "underlying context", or "computation
       context", which is to denote the context for the underlying computation algorithm if there
       is one.

   Types
       EVP_MAC is a type that holds the implementation of a MAC.

       EVP_MAC_CTX is a context type that holds internal MAC information as well as a reference
       to a computation context, for those MACs that rely on an underlying computation algorithm.

   Algorithm implementation fetching
       EVP_MAC_fetch() fetches an implementation of a MAC algorithm, given a library context
       libctx and a set of properties.  See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for further
       information.

       See "Message Authentication Code (MAC)" in OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7) for the list of
       algorithms supported by the default provider.

       The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_MAC_free(3).

       EVP_MAC_up_ref() increments the reference count of an already fetched MAC.

       EVP_MAC_free() frees a fetched algorithm.  NULL is a valid parameter, for which this
       function is a no-op.

   Context manipulation functions
       EVP_MAC_CTX_new() creates a new context for the MAC type mac.  The created context can
       then be used with most other functions described here.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_free() frees the contents of the context, including an underlying context if
       there is one, as well as the context itself.  NULL is a valid parameter, for which this
       function is a no-op.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_dup() duplicates the src context and returns a newly allocated context.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get0_mac() returns the EVP_MAC associated with the context ctx.

   Computing functions
       EVP_Q_mac() computes the message authentication code of data with length datalen using the
       MAC algorithm name and the key key with length keylen.  The MAC algorithm is fetched using
       any given libctx and property query string propq. It takes parameters subalg and further
       params, both of which may be NULL if not needed.  If out is not NULL, it places the result
       in the memory pointed at by out, but only if outsize is sufficient (otherwise no
       computation is made).  If out is NULL, it allocates and uses a buffer of suitable length,
       which will be returned on success and must be freed by the caller.  In either case, also
       on error, it assigns the number of bytes written to *outlen unless outlen is NULL.

       EVP_MAC_init() sets up the underlying context ctx with information given via the key and
       params arguments.  The MAC key has a length of keylen and the parameters in params are
       processed before setting the key.  If key is NULL, the key must be set via params either
       as part of this call or separately using EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().  Providing non-NULL
       params to this function is equivalent to calling EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params() with those
       params for the same ctx beforehand.  Note: There are additional requirements for some MAC
       algorithms during re-initalization (i.e. calling EVP_MAC_init() on an EVP_MAC after
       EVP_MAC_final() has been called on the same object).  See the NOTES section below.

       EVP_MAC_init() should be called before EVP_MAC_update() and EVP_MAC_final().

       EVP_MAC_update() adds datalen bytes from data to the MAC input.

       EVP_MAC_final() does the final computation and stores the result in the memory pointed at
       by out of size outsize, and sets the number of bytes written in *outl at.  If out is NULL
       or outsize is too small, then no computation is made.  To figure out what the output
       length will be and allocate space for it dynamically, simply call with out being NULL and
       outl pointing at a valid location, then allocate space and make a second call with out
       pointing at the allocated space.

       EVP_MAC_finalXOF() does the final computation for an XOF based MAC and stores the result
       in the memory pointed at by out of size outsize.

       EVP_MAC_get_params() retrieves details about the implementation mac.  The set of
       parameters given with params determine exactly what parameters should be retrieved.  Note
       that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is simply ignored.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params() retrieves chosen parameters, given the context ctx and its
       underlying context.  The set of parameters given with params determine exactly what
       parameters should be retrieved.  Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying
       context is simply ignored.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params() passes chosen parameters to the underlying context, given a
       context ctx.  The set of parameters given with params determine exactly what parameters
       are passed down.  If params are NULL, the underlying context should do nothing and return
       1.  Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is simply ignored.
       Also, what happens when a needed parameter isn't passed down is defined by the
       implementation.

       EVP_MAC_gettable_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the retrievable
       and settable parameters.  EVP_MAC_gettable_params() returns parameters that can be used
       with EVP_MAC_get_params().

       EVP_MAC_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_MAC_CTX_gettable_params() return constant
       OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays that describe the retrievable parameters that can be used with
       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params().  EVP_MAC_gettable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can
       be retrieved from the algorithm, whereas EVP_MAC_CTX_gettable_params() returns the
       parameters that can be retrieved in the context's current state.

       EVP_MAC_settable_ctx_params() and EVP_MAC_CTX_settable_params() return constant
       OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays that describe the settable parameters that can be used with
       EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().  EVP_MAC_settable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can
       be retrieved from the algorithm, whereas EVP_MAC_CTX_settable_params() returns the
       parameters that can be retrieved in the context's current state.

   Information functions
       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size() returns the MAC output size for the given context.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size() returns the MAC block size for the given context.  Not all
       MAC algorithms support this.

       EVP_MAC_is_a() checks if the given mac is an implementation of an algorithm that's
       identifiable with name.

       EVP_MAC_get0_provider() returns the provider that holds the implementation of the given
       mac.

       EVP_MAC_do_all_provided() traverses all MAC implemented by all activated providers in the
       given library context libctx, and for each of the implementations, calls the given
       function fn with the implementation method and the given arg as argument.

       EVP_MAC_get0_name() return the name of the given MAC.  For fetched MACs with multiple
       names, only one of them is returned; it's recommended to use EVP_MAC_names_do_all()
       instead.

       EVP_MAC_names_do_all() traverses all names for mac, and calls fn with each name and data.

       EVP_MAC_get0_description() returns a description of the mac, meant for display and human
       consumption.  The description is at the discretion of the mac implementation.

PARAMETERS

       Parameters are identified by name as strings, and have an expected data type and maximum
       size.  OpenSSL has a set of macros for parameter names it expects to see in its own MAC
       implementations.  Here, we show all three, the OpenSSL macro for the parameter name, the
       name in string form, and a type description.

       The standard parameter names are:

       "key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
           Its value is the MAC key as an array of bytes.

           For MACs that use an underlying computation algorithm, the algorithm must be set
           first, see parameter names "algorithm" below.

       "iv" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_IV) <octet string>
           Some MAC implementations (GMAC) require an IV, this parameter sets the IV.

       "custom" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CUSTOM) <octet string>
           Some MAC implementations (KMAC, BLAKE2) accept a Customization String, this parameter
           sets the Customization String. The default value is the empty string.

       "salt" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>
           This option is used by BLAKE2 MAC.

       "xof" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_XOF) <integer>
           It's a simple flag, the value 0 or 1 are expected.

           This option is used by KMAC.

       "digest-noinit" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_DIGEST_NOINIT) <integer>
           A simple flag to set the MAC digest to not initialise the implementation specific
           data. The value 0 or 1 is expected.

           This option is used by HMAC.

       "digest-oneshot" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_DIGEST_ONESHOT) <integer>
           A simple flag to set the MAC digest to be a oneshot operation.  The value 0 or 1 is
           expected.

           This option is used by HMAC.

       "properties" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
       "digest" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
       "cipher" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER) <UTF8 string>
           For MAC implementations that use an underlying computation cipher or digest, these
           parameters set what the algorithm should be.

           The value is always the name of the intended algorithm, or the properties.

           Note that not all algorithms may support all digests.  HMAC does not support variable
           output length digests such as SHAKE128 or SHAKE256.

       "size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
           For MAC implementations that support it, set the output size that EVP_MAC_final()
           should produce.  The allowed sizes vary between MAC implementations, but must never
           exceed what can be given with a size_t.

       "tls-data-size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_TLS_DATA_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
           This parameter is only supported by HMAC. If set then special handling is activated
           for calculating the MAC of a received mac-then-encrypt TLS record where variable
           length record padding has been used (as in the case of CBC mode ciphersuites). The
           value represents the total length of the record that is having the MAC calculated
           including the received MAC and the record padding.

           When used EVP_MAC_update must be called precisely twice. The first time with the 13
           bytes of TLS "header" data, and the second time with the entire record including the
           MAC itself and any padding. The entire record length must equal the value passed in
           the "tls-data-size" parameter. The length passed in the datalen parameter to
           EVP_MAC_update() should be equal to the length of the record after the MAC and any
           padding has been removed.

       All these parameters should be used before the calls to any of EVP_MAC_init(),
       EVP_MAC_update() and EVP_MAC_final() for a full computation.  Anything else may give
       undefined results.

NOTES

       The MAC life-cycle is described in life_cycle-mac(7).  In the future, the transitions
       described there will be enforced.  When this is done, it will not be considered a breaking
       change to the API.

       The usage of the parameter names "custom", "iv" and "salt" correspond to the names used in
       the standard where the algorithm was defined.

       Some MAC algorithms store internal state that cannot be extracted during re-initalization.
       For example GMAC cannot extract an IV from the underlying CIPHER context, and so calling
       EVP_MAC_init() on an EVP_MAC object after EVP_MAC_final() has been called cannot reset its
       cipher state to what it was when the IV was initially generated.  For such instances, an
       OSSL_MAC_PARAM_IV parameter must be passed with each call to EVP_MAC_init().

RETURN VALUES

       EVP_MAC_fetch() returns a pointer to a newly fetched EVP_MAC, or NULL if allocation
       failed.

       EVP_MAC_up_ref() returns 1 on success, 0 on error.

       EVP_MAC_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all names. A return value
       of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.

       EVP_MAC_free() returns nothing at all.

       EVP_MAC_is_a() returns 1 if the given method can be identified with the given name,
       otherwise 0.

       EVP_MAC_get0_name() returns a name of the MAC, or NULL on error.

       EVP_MAC_get0_provider() returns a pointer to the provider for the MAC, or NULL on error.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_new() and EVP_MAC_CTX_dup() return a pointer to a newly created EVP_MAC_CTX,
       or NULL if allocation failed.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_free() returns nothing at all.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params() and EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params() return 1 on success, 0 on error.

       EVP_Q_mac() returns a pointer to the computed MAC value, or NULL on error.

       EVP_MAC_init(), EVP_MAC_update(), EVP_MAC_final(), and EVP_MAC_finalXOF() return 1 on
       success, 0 on error.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size() returns the expected output size, or 0 if it isn't set.  If it
       isn't set, a call to EVP_MAC_init() will set it.

       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size() returns the block size, or 0 if it isn't set.  If it isn't
       set, a call to EVP_MAC_init() will set it.

       EVP_MAC_do_all_provided() returns nothing at all.
