EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF(7ssl)              OpenSSL             EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF(7ssl)


NAME
       EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF - The TLS1 PRF EVP_KDF implementation

DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing the TLS1 PRF through the EVP_KDF API.

       The EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF algorithm implements the PRF used by TLS versions
       up to and including TLS 1.2.

       The output is considered to be keying material.

   Identity
       "TLS1-PRF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
       EVP_KDF_fetch() function.

   Supported parameters
       The supported parameters are:

       "properties" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
       "digest" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).

           The OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST parameter is used to set 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.

       "secret" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET) <octet string>
           This parameter sets the secret value of the TLS PRF. Any existing
           secret value is replaced.

       "seed" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED) <octet string>
           This parameter sets the context seed.  The length of the context
           seed cannot exceed 1024 bytes; this should be more than enough for
           any normal use of the TLS PRF.

       The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:

       "fips-indicator" (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 any "***-check" related parameter is set to 0 and the
           check fails.

       "ems_check" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_EMS_CHECK) <integer>
           The default value of 1 causes an error during EVP_KDF_derive() if
           "master secret" is used instead of "extended master secret" 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.

       "digest-check" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>
           The default value of 1 causes an error during
           EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params() if used digest is not approved.  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.

           According to SP 800-135r1, the following are approved digest
           algorithms: SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512.

       "key-check" (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
           (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET) 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.

NOTES
       A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling:

        EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", NULL);
        EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);

       The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived
       otherwise an error will occur.

       The output length of the PRF is specified by the keylen parameter to
       the EVP_KDF_derive() function.

EXAMPLES
       This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key
       "secret" and seed value "seed":

        EVP_KDF *kdf;
        EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
        unsigned char out[10];
        OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;

        kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", NULL);
        kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
        EVP_KDF_free(kdf);

        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST,
                                                SN_sha256, strlen(SN_sha256));
        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET,
                                                 "secret", (size_t)6);
        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED,
                                                 "seed", (size_t)4);
        *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
        if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
            error("EVP_KDF_derive");
        }
        EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
