See L for further information. The key exchange (OSSL_OP_KEYEXCH) operation enables providers to implement key exchange algorithms and make them available to applications via L and other related functions). All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between F and the provider in B arrays via B arrays that are returned by the provider's provider_query_operation() function (see L). All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named B, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from an B element named B. For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx() has these: typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx_fn)(void *provctx); static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx_fn OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); B arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in L, as follows: OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_NEWCTX OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_freectx OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_FREECTX OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_DUPCTX OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_INIT OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_peer OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_SET_PEER OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_DERIVE OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_SET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_GET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_KEYEXCH_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS A key exchange algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions. In order to be a consistent set of functions a provider must implement OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_freectx, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive. All other functions are optional. A key exchange algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating, loading or importing keys via the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation. See L for further details. =head2 Context Management Functions OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side structure for holding context information during a key exchange operation. A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other key exchange operation function calls. The parameter I is the provider context generated during provider initialisation (see L). OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side key exchange context in the I parameter. This function should free any resources associated with that context. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side key exchange context in the I parameter and return the duplicate copy. =head2 Shared Secret Derivation Functions OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init() initialises a key exchange operation given a provider side key exchange context in the I parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the I parameter. The I, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)>. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_peer() is called to supply the peer's public key (in the I parameter) to be used when deriving the shared secret. It is also passed a previously initialised key exchange context in the I parameter. The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)>. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive() performs the actual key exchange itself by deriving a shared secret. A previously initialised key exchange context is passed in the I parameter. The derived secret should be written to the location I which should not exceed I bytes. The length of the shared secret should be written to I<*secretlen>. If I is NULL then the maximum length of the shared secret should be written to I<*secretlen>. =head2 Key Exchange Parameters Functions OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params() sets key exchange parameters associated with the given provider side key exchange context I to I, see L. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. Passing NULL for I should return true. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params() gets key exchange parameters associated with the given provider side key exchange context I into I, see L. Passing NULL for I should return true. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params() yields a constant B array that describes the settable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with OP_signature_set_ctx_params(). If OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params() is present, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params() must also be present, and vice versa. Similarly, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params() yields a constant B array that describes the gettable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be handled by OP_signature_get_ctx_params(). If OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params() is present, OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params() must also be present, and vice versa. See L for the use of B as parameter descriptor. Notice that not all settable parameters are also gettable, and vice versa. =head2 Common Key Exchange parameters See L for further details on the parameters structure used by the OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_ctx_params() functions. Common parameters currently recognised by built-in key exchange algorithms are as follows. =over 4 =item "kdf-type" (B) Sets or gets the Key Derivation Function type to apply within the associated key exchange ctx. =item "kdf-digest" (B) Sets or gets the Digest algorithm to be used as part of the Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. =item "kdf-digest-props" (B) Sets properties to be used upon look up of the implementation for the selected Digest algorithm for the Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. =item "kdf-outlen" (B) Sets or gets the desired size for the output of the chosen Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. The length of the "kdf-outlen" parameter should not exceed that of a B. =item "kdf-ukm" (B) Sets the User Key Material to be used as part of the selected Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. =item "kdf-ukm" (B) Gets a pointer to the User Key Material to be used as part of the selected Key Derivation Function associated with the given key exchange ctx. Providers usually do not need to support this gettable parameter as its sole purpose is to support functionality of the deprecated EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_dh_kdf_ukm() functions. =back =head1 RETURN VALUES OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_dupctx() should return the newly created provider side key exchange context, or NULL on failure. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_init(), OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_peer(), OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_derive(), OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_set_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_get_params() should return 1 for success or 0 on error. OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_settable_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_keyexch_gettable_ctx_params() should always return a constant B array. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 HISTORY The provider KEYEXCH interface was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2019-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
