NAME

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_md, EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_hkdf_salt, EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_hkdf_key, EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_hkdf_info - HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand key derivation algorithm

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/kdf.h>

int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_md(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, const EVP_MD *md);

int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_hkdf_salt(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *salt,
                                int saltlen);

int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_hkdf_key(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *key,
                               int keylen);

int EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_hkdf_info(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *info,
                                int infolen);

DESCRIPTION

The EVP_PKEY_HKDF algorithm implements the HKDF key derivation function. HKDF follows the "extract-then-expand" paradigm, where the KDF logically consists of two modules. The first stage takes the input keying material and "extracts" from it a fixed-length pseudorandom key K. The second stage "expands" the key K into several additional pseudorandom keys (the output of the KDF).

EVP_PKEY_set_hkdf_md() sets the message digest associated with the HKDF.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_hkdf_salt() sets the salt to saltlen bytes of the buffer salt. Any existing value is replaced.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_key() sets the key to keylen bytes of the buffer key. Any existing value is replaced.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_hkdf_info() sets the info value to infolen bytes of the buffer info. If a value is already set, it is appended to the existing value.

STRING CTRLS

HKDF also supports string based control operations via NOTES

All these functions are implemented as macros.

EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_HKDF, NULL);

The output length of the KDF is specified via the length parameter to the EVP_PKEY_derive(3) along with (a pointer initialized to) the desired length.

Optimised versions of HKDF can be implemented in an ENGINE.

RETURN VALUES

All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.

EXAMPLE

This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key "secret", salt value "salt" and info value "label":

EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx;
unsigned char out[10];
size_t outlen = sizeof(out);
pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_HKDF, NULL);

if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(pctx) <= 0)
   /* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_md(pctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
   /* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_salt(pctx, "salt", 4) <= 0)
   /* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_key(pctx, "secret", 6) <= 0)
   /* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_hkdf_info(pctx, "label", 6) <= 0)
   /* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_derive(pctx, out, &outlen) <= 0)
   /* Error */
