NAME 🖥️ EVP_KDF-X963ssl 🖥️

X963 - The X9.63-2001 EVP_KDF implementation

DESCRIPTION

The EVP_KDF-X963 algorithm implements the key derivation function (X963KDF). X963KDF is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) for EC KeyAgreement, to derive a key using input such as a shared secret key and shared info.

Identity

“X963KDF” is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.

Supported parameters

The supported parameters are:

“properties” (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>

“digest” (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

These parameters work as described in “PARAMETERS” in EVP_KDF (3).

“key” (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
The shared secret used for key derivation. This parameter sets the secret.

“info” (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO) <octet string>
This parameter specifies an optional value for shared info.

NOTES

X963KDF is very similar to the SSKDF that uses a digest as the auxiliary function, X963KDF appends the counter to the secret, whereas SSKDF prepends the counter.

A context for X963KDF can be obtained by calling:

EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, “X963KDF”, NULL); EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);

The output length of an X963KDF is specified via the keylen parameter to the EVP_KDF_derive (3) function.

EXAMPLES

This example derives 10 bytes, with the secret key “secret” and sharedinfo value “label”:

EVP_KDF *kdf; EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx; unsigned char out[10]; OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params; kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, “X963KDF”, NULL); kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf); EVP_KDF_free(kdf); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256)); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET, “secret”, (size_t)6); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO, “label”, (size_t)5); *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) { error(“EVP_KDF_derive”); } EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
