EVP_KDF-SS(7ossl) OpenSSL EVP_KDF-SS(7ossl)
NAME
EVP_KDF-SS - The Single Step / One Step EVP_KDF implementation
DESCRIPTION
The EVP_KDF-SS algorithm implements the Single Step key derivation
function (SSKDF). SSKDF derives a key using input such as a shared
secret key (that was generated during the execution of a key
establishment scheme) and fixedinfo. SSKDF is also informally referred
to as 'Concat KDF'.
The output is considered to be keying material.
Auxiliary function
The implementation uses a selectable auxiliary function H, which can be
one of:
H(x) = hash(x, digest=md)
H(x) = HMAC_hash(x, key=salt, digest=md)
H(x) = KMACxxx(x, key=salt, custom="KDF", outlen=mac_size)
Both the HMAC and KMAC implementations set the key using the 'salt'
value. The hash and HMAC also require the digest to be set.
Identity
"SSKDF" 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>
This parameter is ignored for KMAC.
"mac" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC) <UTF8 string>
"maclen" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
"salt" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
"key" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET) <octet string>
This parameter set the shared secret that is used for key
derivation.
"info" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO) <octet string>
This parameter sets an optional value for fixedinfo, also known as
otherinfo.
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
"fips-indicator" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>
A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0
otherwise. This may be used after calling EVP_KDF_derive. It
returns 0 if "key-check" is set to 0 and the check fails.
"key-check" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>
The default value of 1 causes an error during
EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if the length of used key-derivation key
(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) is shorter than 112 bits. Setting this to
zero will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to
0. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved
"fips-indicator" to return 0.
NOTES
A context for SSKDF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSKDF", NULL);
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
The output length of an SSKDF is specified via the keylen parameter to
the EVP_KDF_derive(3) function.
EXAMPLES
This example derives 10 bytes using H(x) = SHA-256, with the secret key
"secret" and fixedinfo value "label":
EVP_KDF *kdf;
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char out[10];
OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;
kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSKDF", 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_KEY,
"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);

the secret key "secret" fixedinfo value "label", salt of "salt" and
KMAC outlen of 20:

OSSL_PARAM params[6], *p = params;

SN_kmac128, strlen(SN_kmac128));
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
"secret", (size_t)6);

"salt", (size_t)4);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_size_t(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MAC_SIZE, (size_t)20);
