   5 EVP_KDF-SSHKDF - The SSHKDF EVP_KDF implementation
   6
   7 =head1 DESCRIPTION
   8
   9 Support for computing the B<SSHKDF> KDF through the B<EVP_KDF> API.
  10
  11 The EVP_KDF-SSHKDF algorithm implements the SSHKDF key derivation function.
  12 It is defined in RFC 4253, section 7.2 and is used by SSH to derive IVs,
  13 encryption keys and integrity keys.
  14 Five inputs are required to perform key derivation: The hashing function
  15 (for example SHA256), the Initial Key, the Exchange Hash, the Session ID,
  16 and the derivation key type.
  17
  18 =head2 Identity
  19
  20 "SSHKDF" is the name for this implementation; it
  21 can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
  22
  23 =head2 Supported parameters
  24
  25 The supported parameters are:
  26
  27 =over 4
  28
  29 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES> ("properties") <UTF8 string>
  30
  31 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST> ("digest") <UTF8 string>
  32
  33 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY> ("key") <octet string>
  34
  35 These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
  36
  37 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_XCGHASH> ("xcghash") <octet string>
  38
  39 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_SESSION_ID> ("session_id") <octet string>
  40
  41 These parameters set the respective values for the KDF.
  42 If a value is already set, the contents are replaced.
  43
  44 =item B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_TYPE> ("type") <int>
  45
  46 This parameter sets the type for the SSHHKDF operation.
  47 There are six supported types:
  48
  49 =over 4
  50
  51 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV
  52
  53 The Initial IV from client to server.
  54 A single char of value 65 (ASCII char 'A').
  55
  56 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_SRV_TO_CLI
  57
  58 The Initial IV from server to client
  59 A single char of value 66 (ASCII char 'B').
  60
  61 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
  62
  63 The Encryption Key from client to server
  64 A single char of value 67 (ASCII char 'C').
  65
  66 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
  67
  68 The Encryption Key from server to client
  69 A single char of value 68 (ASCII char 'D').
  70
  71 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
  72
  73 The Integrity Key from client to server
  74 A single char of value 69 (ASCII char 'E').
  75
  76 =item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
  77
  78 The Integrity Key from client to server
  79 A single char of value 70 (ASCII char 'F').

  85 =head1 NOTES
  86
  87 A context for SSHKDF can be obtained by calling:
  88
  89  EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSHKDF", NULL);
  90  EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
  91
  92 The output length of the SSHKDF derivation is specified via the C<keylen>
  93 parameter to the L<EVP_KDF-derive(3)> function.
  94 Since the SSHKDF output length is variable, calling L<EVP_KDF-size()>
  95 to obtain the requisite length is not meaningful. The caller must
  96 allocate a buffer of the desired length, and pass that buffer to the
  97 L<EVP_KDF-derive(3)> function along with the desired length.
  98
  99 =head1 EXAMPLES
 100
 101 This example derives an 8 byte IV using SHA-256 with a 1K "key" and appropriate
 102 "xcghash" and "session_id" values:
 103
 104  EVP_KDF *kdf;
 105  EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
 106  unsigned char key[1024] = "01234...";
 107  unsigned char xcghash[32] = "012345...";
 108  unsigned char session_id[32] = "012345...";
 109  unsigned char out[8];
 110  size_t outlen = sizeof(out);
 111  OSSL_PARAM params[6], *p = params;
 112
 113  kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSHKDF", NULL);
 114  kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
 115  EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
 116
 117  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST,
 118                                          SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256));
 119  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY,
 120                                           key, (size_t)1024);
 121  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_XCGHASH,
 122                                           xcghash, (size_t)32);
 123  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT,
 124                                           session_id, (size_t)32);
 125  *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_TYPE,
 126                                  EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV);
 127  *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
 128  if (EVP_KDF_set_params(kctx, params) <= 0)
 129      /* Error */
 130
 131  if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, &outlen) <= 0)
 132      /* Error */
