int EVP_KDF_derive(EVP_KDF_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, size_t keylen);The EVP KDF routines are a high level interface to Key Derivation Function algorithms and should be used instead of algorithm-specific functions.
After creating a EVP_KDF_CTX for the required algorithm using EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id(), inputs to the algorithm are supplied using calls to EVP_KDF_ctrl(), EVP_KDF_vctrl() or EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() before calling EVP_KDF_derive() to derive the key.
EVP_KDF_CTX is a context type that holds the algorithm inputs.
EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id() creates a KDF context for the algorithm identified by the specified NID.
EVP_KDF_CTX_free() frees up the context ctx. If ctx is NULL, nothing is done.
EVP_KDF_reset() resets the context to the default state as if the context had just been created.
EVP_KDF_ctrl() is used to provide inputs to the KDF algorithm prior to EVP_KDF_derive() being called. The inputs that may be provided will vary depending on the KDF algorithm or its implementation. This functions takes variable arguments, the exact expected arguments depend on cmd. See "CONTROLS" below for a description of standard controls.
EVP_KDF_vctrl() is the variant of EVP_KDF_ctrl() that takes a va_list argument instead of variadic arguments.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() allows an application to send an algorithm specific control operation to a context ctx in string form. This is intended to be used for options specified on the command line or in text files.
EVP_KDF_size() returns the output size if the algorithm produces a fixed amount of output and SIZE_MAX otherwise. If an error occurs then 0 is returned. For some algorithms an error may result if input parameters necessary to calculate a fixed output size have not yet been supplied.
EVP_KDF_derive() derives keylen bytes of key material and places it in the key buffer. If the algorithm produces a fixed amount of output then an error will occur unless the keylen parameter is equal to that output size, as returned by EVP_KDF_size().
The standard controls are:
This control expects two arguments: unsigned char *pass, size_t passlen
Some KDF implementations require a password. For those KDF implementations that support it, this control sets the password.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
The value string is used as is.
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be decoded before being passed on as the control value.
This control expects two arguments: unsigned char *salt, size_t saltlen
Some KDF implementations can take a salt. For those KDF implementations that support it, this control sets the salt.
The default value, if any, is implementation dependent.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
The value string is used as is.
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be decoded before being passed on as the control value.
This control expects one argument: int iter
Some KDF implementations require an iteration count. For those KDF implementations that support it, this control sets the iteration count.
The default value, if any, is implementation dependent.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() type string: "iter"
The value string is expected to be a decimal number.
This control expects one argument: EVP_MD *md
For MAC implementations that use a message digest as an underlying computation algorithm, this control sets what the digest algorithm should be.
This control expects one argument: EVP_CIPHER *cipher
For MAC implementations that use a cipher as an underlying computation algorithm, this control sets what the cipher algorithm should be.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() type string: "md"
The value string is expected to be the name of a digest.
This control expects two arguments: unsigned char *key, size_t keylen
Some KDF implementations require a key. For those KDF implementations that support it, this control sets the key.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
The value string is used as is.
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be decoded before being passed on as the control value.
This control expects one argument: uint64_t maxmem_bytes
Memory-hard password-based KDF algorithms, such as scrypt, use an amount of memory that depends on the load factors provided as input. For those KDF implementations that support it, this control sets an upper limit on the amount of memory that may be consumed while performing a key derivation. If this memory usage limit is exceeded because the load factors are chosen too high, the key derivation will fail.
The default value is implementation dependent.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() type string: "maxmem_bytes"
The value string is expected to be a decimal number.
EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id() returns either the newly allocated EVP_KDF_CTX structure or NULL if an error occurred.
EVP_KDF_CTX_free() and EVP_KDF_reset() do not return a value.
EVP_KDF_size() returns the output size. SIZE_MAX is returned to indicate that the algorithm produces a variable amount of output; 0 to indicate failure.
The remaining 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 KDF algorithm.
