NAME
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md, EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_tls1_prf_secret,
EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed - TLS PRF key derivation algorithm
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/kdf.h>
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, const EVP_MD *md);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_tls1_prf_secret(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
unsigned char *sec, int seclen);
int EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx,
unsigned char *seed, int seedlen);
DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_TLS1_PRF algorithm implements the PRF key derivation
function for TLS. It has no associated private key and only implements
key derivation using EVP_PKEY_derive(3).
EVP_PKEY_set_tls1_prf_md() sets the message digest associated with the
TLS PRF. EVP_md5_sha1() is treated as a special case which uses the PRF
algorithm using both MD5 and SHA1 as used in TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_secret() sets the secret value of the TLS PRF
to seclen bytes of the buffer sec. Any existing secret value is
replaced and any seed is reset.
EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed() sets the seed to seedlen bytes of
seed. If a seed is already set it is appended to the existing value.
STRING CTRLS
The TLS PRF also supports string based control operations using
EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str(3). The type parameter "md" uses the supplied
value as the name of the digest algorithm to use. The type parameters
"secret" and "seed" use the supplied value parameter as a secret or
seed value. The names "hexsecret" and "hexseed" are similar except
they take a hex string which is converted to binary.
NOTES
A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_TLS1_PRF, NULL);
The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived
or an error occurs.
The total length of all seeds cannot exceed 1024 bytes in length: this
should be more than enough for any normal use of the TLS PRF.
The output length of the PRF is specified by the length parameter in
the EVP_PKEY_derive() function. Since the output length is variable,
setting the buffer to NULL is not meaningful for the TLS PRF.
Optimised versions of the TLS PRF can be implemented in an ENGINE.
RETURN VALUES
All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx;
unsigned char out[10];
size_t outlen = sizeof(out);
pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_TLS1_PRF, NULL);
if (EVP_PKEY_derive_init(pctx) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md(pctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_tls1_prf_secret(pctx, "secret", 6) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_add1_tls1_prf_seed(pctx, "seed", 4) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_derive(pctx, out, &outlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
