5EVP_KDF-TLS13_KDF - The TLS 1.3 EVP_KDF implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Support for computing the TLS 1.3 version of the B<HKDF> KDF through
10the B<EVP_KDF> API.
11
12The EVP_KDF-TLS13_KDF algorithm implements the HKDF key derivation function
13as used by TLS 1.3.
14
15=head2 Identity
16
17"TLS13-KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
18can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
19
20=head2 Supported parameters
21
22The supported parameters are:
23
24=over 4
25
26=item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
27
28=item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>
29
30=item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
31
32=item "salt" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT>) <octet string>
33
34These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
35
36=item "prefix" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PREFIX>) <octet string>
37
38This parameter sets the label prefix on the specified TLS 1.3 KDF context.
39For TLS 1.3 this should be set to the ASCII string "tls13 " without a
40trailing zero byte.  Refer to RFC 8446 section 7.1 "Key Schedule" for details.
41
42=item "label" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_LABEL>) <octet string>
43
44This parameter sets the label on the specified TLS 1.3 KDF context.
45Refer to RFC 8446 section 7.1 "Key Schedule" for details.
46
47=item "data" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DATA>) <octet string>
48
49This parameter sets the context data on the specified TLS 1.3 KDF context.
50Refer to RFC 8446 section 7.1 "Key Schedule" for details.
51
52=item "mode" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_MODE>) <UTF8 string> or <integer>
53
54This parameter sets the mode for the TLS 1.3 KDF operation.
55There are two modes that are currently defined:
56
57=over 4
58
59=item "EXTRACT_ONLY" or B<EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXTRACT_ONLY>
60
61In this mode calling L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> will just perform the extract
62operation. The value returned will be the intermediate fixed-length pseudorandom
63key K.  The I<keylen> parameter must match the size of K, which can be looked
64up by calling EVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size() after setting the mode and digest.
65
66The digest, key and salt values must be set before a key is derived otherwise
67an error will occur.
68
69=item "EXPAND_ONLY" or B<EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXPAND_ONLY>
70
71In this mode calling L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> will just perform the expand
72operation. The input key should be set to the intermediate fixed-length
73pseudorandom key K returned from a previous extract operation.
74
75The digest, key and info values must be set before a key is derived otherwise
76an error will occur.

81
82=head1 NOTES
83
84This KDF is intended for use by the TLS 1.3 implementation in libssl.
85It does not support all the options and capabilities that HKDF does.
86
87The I<OSSL_PARAM> array passed to L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> or
88L<EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params(3)> must specify all of the parameters required.
89This KDF does not support a piecemeal approach to providing these.
90
91A context for a TLS 1.3 KDF can be obtained by calling:
92
93 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS13-KDF", NULL);
94 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
95
96The output length of a TLS 1.3 KDF expand operation is specified via the
97I<keylen> parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.  When using
98EVP_KDF_HKDF_MODE_EXTRACT_ONLY the I<keylen> parameter must equal the size of
99the intermediate fixed-length pseudorandom key otherwise an error will occur.
100For that mode, the fixed output size can be looked up by calling
101EVP_KDF_CTX_get_kdf_size() after setting the mode and digest on the
102B<EVP_KDF_CTX>.
