=pod =head1 NAME EVP_PKEY-DH, EVP_PKEY-DHX, EVP_KEYMGMT-DH - EVP_PKEY DH and DHX keytype and algorithm support =head1 DESCRIPTION For B FFC key agreement, two classes of domain parameters can be used: "safe" domain parameters that are associated with approved named safe-prime groups, and a class of "FIPS 186-type" domain parameters. FIPS 186-type domain parameters should only be used for backward compatibility with existing applications that cannot be upgraded to use the approved safe-prime groups. See L for more information about FFC keys. The B key type uses PKCS#3 format which saves p and g, but not the 'q' value. The B key type uses X9.42 format which saves the value of 'q' and this must be used for FIPS186-4. For B that is not a named group the FIPS186-4 standard specifies that the values used for FFC parameter generation are also required for parameter validation. This means that optional FFC domain parameter values for I, I and I or I may need to be stored for validation purposes. For B the I and I can be stored in ASN1 data (but the I or I can not be stored). =head2 DH and DHX domain parameters In addition to the common FCC parameters that all FFC keytypes should support (see L) the B and B keytype implementations support the following: =over 4 =item "group" (B) Sets or gets a string that associates a B or B named safe prime group with known values for I

, I and I. The following values can be used by the OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers: "ffdhe2048", "ffdhe3072", "ffdhe4096", "ffdhe6144", "ffdhe8192", "modp_2048", "modp_3072", "modp_4096", "modp_6144", "modp_8192". The following additional values can also be used by OpenSSL's default provider: "modp_1536", "dh_1024_160", "dh_2048_224", "dh_2048_256". DH/DHX named groups can be easily validated since the parameters are well known. For protocols that only transfer I

and I the value of I can also be retrieved. =back =head2 DH and DHX additional parameters =over 4 =item "encoded-pub-key" (B) Used for getting and setting the encoding of the DH public key used in a key exchange message for the TLS protocol. See EVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key() and EVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key(). =back =head2 DH additional domain parameters =over 4 =item "safeprime-generator" (B) Used for DH generation of safe primes using the old safe prime generator code. The default value is 2. It is recommended to use a named safe prime group instead, if domain parameter validation is required. Randomly generated safe primes are not allowed by FIPS, so setting this value for the OpenSSL FIPS provider will instead choose a named safe prime group based on the size of I

. =back =head2 DH and DHX domain parameter / key generation parameters In addition to the common FFC key generation parameters that all FFC key types should support (see L) the B and B keytype implementation supports the following: =over 4 =item "type" (B) Sets the type of parameter generation. For B valid values are: =over 4 =item "fips186_4" =item "default" =item "fips186_2" These are described in L =item "group" This specifies that a named safe prime name will be chosen using the "pbits" type. =item "generator" A safe prime generator. See the "safeprime-generator" type above. This is only valid for B keys. =back =item "pbits" (B) Sets the size (in bits) of the prime 'p'. For "fips186_4" this must be 2048. For "fips186_2" this must be 1024. For "group" this can be any one of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 or 8192. =item "priv_len" (B) An optional value to set the maximum length of the generated private key. The default value used if this is not set is the maximum value of BN_num_bits(I)). The minimum value that this can be set to is 2 * s. Where s is the security strength of the key which has values of 112, 128, 152, 176 and 200 for key sizes of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 and 8192. =back =head1 EXAMPLES An B context can be obtained by calling: EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DH", NULL); A B key can be generated with a named safe prime group by calling: int priv_len = 2 * 112; OSSL_PARAM params[3]; EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL; EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DH", NULL); params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("group", "ffdhe2048", 0); /* "priv_len" is optional */ params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int("priv_len", &priv_len); params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx); EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(pctx, params); EVP_PKEY_generate(pctx, &pkey); ... EVP_PKEY_free(pkey); EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx); B domain parameters can be generated according to B by calling: int gindex = 2; unsigned int pbits = 2048; unsigned int qbits = 256; OSSL_PARAM params[6]; EVP_PKEY *param_key = NULL; EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = NULL; pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DHX", NULL); EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init(pctx); params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("pbits", &pbits); params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("qbits", &qbits); params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int("gindex", &gindex); params[3] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("type", "fips186_4", 0); params[4] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("digest", "SHA256", 0); params[5] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(pctx, params); EVP_PKEY_generate(pctx, ¶m_key); EVP_PKEY_print_params(bio_out, param_key, 0, NULL); ... EVP_PKEY_free(param_key); EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx); A B key can be generated using domain parameters by calling: EVP_PKEY *key = NULL; EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, param_key, NULL); EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(gctx); EVP_PKEY_generate(gctx, &key); EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, key, 0, NULL); ... EVP_PKEY_free(key); EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(gctx); To validate B B domain parameters decoded from B or B data, additional values used during generation may be required to be set into the key. EVP_PKEY_todata(), OSSL_PARAM_merge(), and EVP_PKEY_fromdata() are useful to add these parameters to the original key or domain parameters before the actual validation. In production code the return values should be checked.
