Dimitri John Ledkov 6f08353a4b doc: EVP_KDF document the semantic meaning of output
Explicitely document what semantic meaning do various EVP_KDF
algorithms produce.

PBKDF2 produces cryptographic keys that are subject to cryptographic
security measures, for example as defined in NIST SP 800-132.

All other algorithms produce keying material, not subject to explicit
output length checks in any known standards.

=head1 NAME
EVP_KDF-X942-ASN1 - The X9.42-2003 asn1 EVP_KDF implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EVP_KDF-X942-ASN1 algorithm implements the key derivation function
X942KDF-ASN1. It is used by DH KeyAgreement, to derive a key using input such as
a shared secret key and other info. The other info is DER encoded data that
contains a 32 bit counter as well as optional fields for "partyu-info",
"partyv-info", "supp-pubinfo" and "supp-privinfo".
This kdf is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
The output is considered to be keying material.
=head2 Identity
"X942KDF-ASN1" or "X942KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
=head2 Supported parameters
The supported parameters are:
=over 4
=item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
=item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
=item "secret" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>
The shared secret used for key derivation. This parameter sets the secret.
=item "acvp-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_ACVPINFO>) <octet string>
This value should not be used in production and should only be used for ACVP
testing. It is an optional octet string containing a combined DER encoded blob
of any of the optional fields related to "partyu-info", "partyv-info",
"supp-pubinfo" and "supp-privinfo". If it is specified then none of these other
fields should be used.
=item "partyu-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_PARTYUINFO>) <octet string>
An optional octet string containing public info contributed by the initiator.
=item "ukm" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_UKM>) <octet string>
An alias for "partyu-info".
In CMS this is the user keying material.
=item "partyv-info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_PARTYVINFO>) <octet string>
An optional octet string containing public info contributed by the responder.
=item "supp-pubinfo" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_SUPP_PUBINFO>) <octet string>
An optional octet string containing some additional, mutually-known public
information. Setting this value also sets "use-keybits" to 0.
=item "use-keybits" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_USE_KEYBITS>) <integer>
The default value of 1 will use the KEK key length (in bits) as the
"supp-pubinfo". A value of 0 disables setting the "supp-pubinfo".
=item "supp-privinfo" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_X942_SUPP_PRIVINFO>) <octet string>
An optional octet string containing some additional, mutually-known private
information.
=item "cekalg" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_CEK_ALG>) <UTF8 string>
This parameter sets the CEK wrapping algorithm name.
Valid values are "AES-128-WRAP", "AES-192-WRAP", "AES-256-WRAP" and "DES3-WRAP".
=back
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
=over 4
=item "fips-indicator" (B<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"
parameter is set to 0 and the check fails.
=item "key-check" (B<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 (B<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.
=back
=head1 NOTES
A context for X942KDF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X942KDF", NULL);
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
The output length of an X942KDF is specified via the I<keylen>
parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.
=head1 EXAMPLES
This example derives 24 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and random user
keying material:
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char out[192/8];
unsignred char ukm[64];
OSSL_PARAM params[5], *p = params;
if (RAND_bytes(ukm, sizeof(ukm)) <= 0)
error("RAND_bytes");
kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X942KDF", NULL);
if (kctx == NULL)
error("EVP_KDF_fetch");
kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
if (kctx == NULL)
error("EVP_KDF_CTX_new");
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST, "SHA256", 0);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
"secret", (size_t)6);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_UKM, ukm, sizeof(ukm));
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_CEK_ALG, "AES-256-WRAP, 0);
*p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0)
error("EVP_KDF_derive");
EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
