.SH NAME
EVP_KDF\-TLS1_PRF \- The TLS1 PRF EVP_KDF implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Support for computing the \fBTLS1\fR PRF through the \fBEVP_KDF\fR API.
.PP
The EVP_KDF\-TLS1_PRF algorithm implements the PRF used by TLS versions up to
and including TLS 1.2.
.PP
The output is considered to be keying material.
.SS Identity
.IX Subsection "Identity"
"TLS1\-PRF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the \fBEVP_KDF_fetch()\fR function.
.SS "Supported parameters"
.IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
The supported parameters are:
.IP """properties"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
.PD 0
.IP """digest"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
.PD
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_KDF\fR\|(3).
.Sp
The \fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST\fR parameter is used to set the message digest
associated with the TLS PRF.
\&\fBEVP_md5_sha1()\fR is treated as a special case which uses the
PRF algorithm using both \fBMD5\fR and \fBSHA1\fR as used in TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
.IP """secret"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """secret"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET) <octet string>"
This parameter sets the secret value of the TLS PRF.
Any existing secret value is replaced.
.IP """seed"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """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.
.PP
The OpenSSL FIPS provider also supports the following parameters:
.IP """fips\-indicator"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """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.
.IP """ems_check"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_EMS_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """ems_check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_EMS_CHECK) <integer>"
The default value of 1 causes an error during \fBEVP_KDF_derive()\fR 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.
.IP """digest\-check"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """digest-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>"
The default value of 1 causes an error during \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR 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.
.Sp
According to SP 800\-135r1, the following are approved digest algorithms:
SHA2\-256, SHA2\-384, SHA2\-512.
.IP """key\-check"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """key-check"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>"
The default value of 1 causes an error during \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR if the
length of used key\-derivation key (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET\fR) 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.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1\-PRF", NULL);
\& EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
.Ve
.PP
The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived otherwise
an error will occur.
.PP
The output length of the PRF is specified by the \fIkeylen\fR parameter to the
\&\fBEVP_KDF_derive()\fR function.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
This example derives 10 bytes using SHA\-256 with the secret key "secret"
and seed value "seed":
.PP

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

\& 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");
