DESCRIPTION
This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See provider(7) for further
information.
The KDF operation enables providers to implement KDF algorithms and make them available to
applications via the API functions EVP_KDF_CTX_reset(3), and EVP_KDF_derive(3).
All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between libcrypto and the
provider in OSSL_DISPATCH(3) arrays via OSSL_ALGORITHM(3) arrays that are returned by the
provider's provider_query_operation() function (see "Provider Functions" in
provider-base(7)).
All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named
OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from an
OSSL_DISPATCH(3) element named OSSL_FUNC_{name}. For example, the "function"
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx() has these:
typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx_fn
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
OSSL_DISPATCH(3) array entries are identified by numbers that are provided as macros in
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.
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 provctx
is the provider context generated during provider initialisation (see provider(7)).
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side KDF context in the kctx
parameter. If it receives NULL as 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 kctx
parameter and return the duplicate copy.
Encryption/Decryption Functions
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_reset() initialises a KDF operation given a provider side KDF context in the
kctx parameter.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_derive() performs the KDF operation after processing the params as per
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params(). The kctx parameter contains a pointer to the provider
side context. The resulting key of the desired keylen should be written to key. If the
algorithm does not support the requested keylen the function must return error.
KDF Parameters
See 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 params.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_set_ctx_params() sets KDF parameters associated with the given provider side
KDF context kctx to params. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were
previously set. Passing NULL for params should return true.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_get_ctx_params() retrieves gettable parameter values associated with the
given provider side KDF context kctx and stores them in params. Passing NULL for params
should return true.
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params(), and
OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params() all return constant OSSL_PARAM(3) 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. OSSL_FUNC_kdf_gettable_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_kdf_settable_ctx_params()
will return the parameters associated with the provider side context kctx in its current
state if it is not NULL. Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
provider side algorithm provctx.
Parameters currently recognised by built-in KDFs are as follows. Not all parameters are
relevant to, or are understood by all KDFs:
"size" (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.

Sets the key in the associated KDF ctx.
"secret" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET) <octet string>
Sets the secret in the associated KDF ctx.

Sets the password in the associated KDF ctx.

"digest" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"mac" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC) <UTF8 string>

NOTES
The KDF life-cycle is described in life_cycle-kdf(7). Providers should ensure that the
various transitions listed there are supported. At some point the EVP layer will begin
enforcing the listed transitions.
