+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_KDF-ARGON2 - The Argon2 EVP KDF implementation
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Support for computing the B<argon2> password-based KDF through the B<EVP_KDF>
+API.
+
+The EVP_KDF-ARGON2 algorithm implements the Argon2 password-based key
+derivation function, as described in IETF RFC 9106. It is memory-hard in
+the sense that it deliberately requires a significant amount of RAM for efficient
+computation. The intention of this is to render brute forcing of passwords on
+systems that lack large amounts of main memory (such as GPUs or ASICs)
+computationally infeasible.
+
+Argon2d (Argon2i) uses data-dependent (data-independent) memory access and
+primary seek to address trade-off (side-channel) attacks.
+
+Argon2id is a hybrid construction which, in the first two slices of the first
+pass, generates reference addresses data-independently as in Argon2i, whereas
+in later slices and next passess it generates them data-dependently as in
+Argon2d.
+
+Sbox-hardened version Argon2ds is not supported.
+
+For more information, please refer to RFC 9106.
+
+=head2 Supported parameters
+
+The supported parameters are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item "pass" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD>) <octet string>
+
+=item "salt" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT>) <octet string>
+
+=item "secret" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>
+
+=item "iter" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER>) <unsigned integer>
+
+=item "size" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
+
+These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.
+
+Note that RFC 9106 recommends 128 bits salt for most applications, or 64 bits
+salt in the case of space constraints. At least 128 bits output length is
+recommended.
+
+Note that secret (or pepper) is an optional secret data used along the
+password.
+
+=item "threads" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_THREADS>) <unsigned integer>
+
+The number of threads, bounded above by the number of lanes.
+
+This can only be used with built-in thread support. Threading must be
+explicitly enabled. See EXAMPLES section for more information.
+
+=item "ad" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_AD>) <octet string>
+
+Optional associated data, may be used to "tag" a group of keys, or tie them
+to a particular public key, without having to modify salt.
+
+=item "lanes" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_LANES>) <unsigned integer>
+
+Argon2 splits the requested memory size into lanes, each of which is designed
+to be processed in parallel. For example, on a system with p cores, it's
+recommended to use p lanes.
+
+The number of lanes is used to derive the key. It is possible to specify
+more lanes than the number of available computational threads. This is
+especially encouraged if multi-threading is disabled.
+
+=item "memcost" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_MEMCOST>) <unsigned integer>
+
+Memory cost parameter (the number of 1k memory blocks used).
+
+=item "version" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_VERSION>) <unsigned integer>
+
+Argon2 version. Supported values: 0x10, 0x13 (default).
+
+=item "early_clean" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_EARLY_CLEAN>) <unsigned integer>
+
+If set (nonzero), password and secret stored in Argon2 context are zeroed
+early during initial hash computation, as soon as they are not needed.
+Otherwise, they are zeroed along the rest of Argon2 context data on clear,
+free, reset.
+
+This can be useful if, for example, multiple keys with different ad value
+are to be generated from a single password and secret.

+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+This example uses Argon2d with password "1234567890", salt "saltsalt",
+using 2 lanes, 2 threads, and memory cost of 65536:
+
+ #include <string.h> /* strlen */
+ #include <openssl/core_names.h> /* OSSL_KDF_* */
+ #include <openssl/params.h> /* OSSL_PARAM_* */
+ #include <openssl/thread.h> /* OSSL_set_max_threads */
+ #include <openssl/kdf.h> /* EVP_KDF_* */
+
+ int main(void)
+ {
+ int retval = 1;
+
+ EVP_KDF *kdf = NULL;
+ EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = NULL;
+ OSSL_PARAM params[6], *p = params;
+
+ /* argon2 params, please refer to RFC9106 for recommended defaults */
+ uint32_t lanes = 2, threads = 2, memcost = 65536;
+ char pwd[] = "1234567890", salt[] = "saltsalt";
+
+ /* derive result */
+ size_t outlen = 128;
+ unsigned char result[outlen];
+
+ /* required if threads > 1 */
+ if (OSSL_set_max_threads(NULL, threads) != 1)
+ goto fail;
+
+ p = params;
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint32(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_THREADS, &threads);
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint32(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_LANES,
+ &lanes);
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint32(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ARGON2_MEMCOST,
+ &memcost);
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT,
+ salt,
+ strlen((const char *)salt));
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD,
+ pwd,
+ strlen((const char *)pwd));
+ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
+
+ if ((kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "ARGON2D", NULL)) == NULL)
+ goto fail;
+ if ((kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf)) == NULL)
+ goto fail;
+ if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, &result[0], outlen, params) != 1)
+ goto fail;
+
+ printf("Output = %s\n", OPENSSL_buf2hexstr(result, outlen));
+ retval = 0;
+
+ fail:
+ EVP_KDF_free(kdf);
+ EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
+ OSSL_set_max_threads(NULL, 0);
+
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+"ARGON2I", "ARGON2D", and "ARGON2ID" are the names for this implementation; it
+can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
