=head1 NAME
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF - The SSHKDF EVP_KDF implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for computing the B<SSHKDF> KDF through the B<EVP_KDF> API.
The EVP_KDF_SSHKDF algorithm implements the SSHKDF key derivation function.
It is defined in RFC 4253, section 7.2 and is used by SSH to derive IVs,
encryption keys and integrity keys.
Five inputs are required to perform key derivation: The hashing function
(for example SHA256), the Initial Key, the Exchange Hash, the Session ID,
and the derivation key type.
=head2 Numeric identity
B<EVP_KDF_SSHKDF> is the numeric identity for this implementation; it
can be used with the EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id() function.
=head2 Supported controls
The supported controls are:
=over 4
=item B<EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_MD>
=item B<EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_KEY>
These controls work as described in L<EVP_KDF_CTX(3)/CONTROLS>.
=item B<EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_XCGHASH>
=item B<EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_SESSION_ID>
These controls expect two arguments: C<unsigned char *buffer>, C<size_t length>
They set the respective values to the first B<length> bytes of the buffer
B<buffer>. If a value is already set, the contents are replaced.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for these controls:
=over 4
=item "xcghash"
=item "session_id"
The value string is used as is.
=item "hexxcghash"
=item "hexsession_id"
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be
decoded before being passed on as the control value.
=back
=item B<EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_TYPE>
This control expects one argument: C<int mode>
Sets the type for the SSHHKDF operation. There are six supported types:
=over 4
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV
The Initial IV from client to server.
A single char of value 65 (ASCII char 'A').
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_SRV_TO_CLI
The Initial IV from server to client
A single char of value 66 (ASCII char 'B').
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
The Encryption Key from client to server
A single char of value 67 (ASCII char 'C').
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
The Encryption Key from server to client
A single char of value 68 (ASCII char 'D').
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
The Integrity Key from client to server
A single char of value 69 (ASCII char 'E').
=item EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
The Integrity Key from client to server
A single char of value 70 (ASCII char 'F').
=back
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() type string: "type"
The value is a string of length one character. The only valid values
are the numerical values of the ASCII characters: "A" (65) to "F" (70).
=back
=head1 NOTES
A context for SSHKDF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id(EVP_KDF_SSHKDF);
The output length of the SSHKDF derivation is specified via the C<keylen>
parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.
Since the SSHKDF output length is variable, calling L<EVP_KDF_size()>
to obtain the requisite length is not meaningful. The caller must
allocate a buffer of the desired length, and pass that buffer to the
L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function along with the desired length.
=head1 EXAMPLE
This example derives an 8 byte IV using SHA-256 with a 1K "key" and appropriate
"xcghash" and "session_id" values:
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char key[1024] = "01234...";
unsigned char xcghash[32] = "012345...";
unsigned char session_id[32] = "012345...";
unsigned char out[8];
size_t outlen = sizeof(out);
kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id(EVP_KDF_SSHKDF);
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set_md(kctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_key(kctx, key, 1024) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_sshkdf_xcghash(kctx, xcghash, 32) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_sshkdf_session_id(kctx, session_id, 32) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set_sshkdf_type(kctx,
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, &outlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
