EVP_KDF-HMAC-DRBG(7ossl) OpenSSL EVP_KDF-HMAC-DRBG(7ossl)
NAME
EVP_KDF-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG DETERMINISTIC EVP_KDF implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for a deterministic HMAC DRBG using the EVP_KDF API. This is
similar to EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG(7), but uses fixed values for its entropy
and nonce values. This is used to generate deterministic nonce value
required by ECDSA and DSA (as defined in RFC 6979).
Identity
"HMAC-DRBG-KDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used
with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
Supported parameters
The supported parameters are:
"digest" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"properties" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
"entropy" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_HMACDRBG_ENTROPY) <octet string>
Sets the entropy bytes supplied to the HMAC-DRBG.
"nonce" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_HMACDRBG_NONCE) <octet string>
Sets the nonce bytes supplied to the HMAC-DRBG.
NOTES
A context for KDF HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG-KDF", NULL);
EVP_KDF_CTX *kdf_ctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf, NULL);
CONFORMING TO
RFC 6979
