EVP_KDF_SSHKDF(7) OpenSSL EVP_KDF_SSHKDF(7)
NAME
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF - The SSHKDF EVP_KDF implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for computing the SSHKDF KDF through the EVP_KDF API.
The EVP_KDF_SSHKDF algorithm implements the SSHKDF key derivation
function. It is defined in RFC 4253, section 7.2 and is used by SSH to
derive IVs, encryption keys and integrity keys. Five inputs are
required to perform key derivation: The hashing function (for example
SHA256), the Initial Key, the Exchange Hash, the Session ID, and the
derivation key type.
Numeric identity
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF is the numeric identity for this implementation; it can
be used with the EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id() function.
Supported controls
The supported controls are:
EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_MD
EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_KEY
These controls work as described in "CONTROLS" in EVP_KDF_CTX(3).
EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_XCGHASH
EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_SESSION_ID
These controls expect two arguments: "unsigned char *buffer",
"size_t length"
They set the respective values to the first length bytes of the
buffer buffer. If a value is already set, the contents are
replaced.
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for these controls:
"xcghash"
"session_id"
The value string is used as is.
"hexxcghash"
"hexsession_id"
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which
will be decoded before being passed on as the control value.
EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_SSHKDF_TYPE
This control expects one argument: "int mode"
Sets the type for the SSHHKDF operation. There are six supported
types:
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ININITAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV
The Initial IV from client to server. A single char of value
65 (ASCII char 'A').
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ININITAL_IV_SRV_TO_CLI
The Initial IV from server to client A single char of value 66
(ASCII char 'B').
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
The Encryption Key from client to server A single char of value
67 (ASCII char 'C').
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
The Encryption Key from server to client A single char of value
68 (ASCII char 'D').
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_CLI_TO_SRV
The Integrity Key from client to server A single char of value
69 (ASCII char 'E').
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INTEGRITY_KEY_SRV_TO_CLI
The Integrity Key from client to server A single char of value
70 (ASCII char 'F').
EVP_KDF_ctrl_str() type string: "type"
The value is a string of length one character. The only valid
values are the numerical values of the ASCII caracters: "A" (65) to
"F" (70).
NOTES
A context for SSHKDF can be obtained by calling:
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id(EVP_KDF_SSHKDF);
The output length of the SSHKDF derivation is specified via the
"keylen" parameter to the EVP_KDF_derive(3) function. Since the SSHKDF
output length is variable, calling EVP_KDF_size() to obtain the
requisite length is not meaningful. The caller must allocate a buffer
of the desired length, and pass that buffer to the EVP_KDF_derive(3)
function along with the desired length.
EXAMPLE
This example derives an 8 byte IV using SHA-256 with a 1K "key" and
appropriate "xcghash" and "session_id" values:
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char key[1024] = "01234...";
unsigned char xcghash[32] = "012345...";
unsigned char session_id[32] = "012345...";
unsigned char out[8];
size_t outlen = sizeof(out);
kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new_id(EVP_KDF_SSHKDF);
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set_md(kctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_key(kctx, key, 1024) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_sshkdf_xcghash(kctx, xcghash, 32) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set1_sshkdf_session_id(kctx, session_id, 32) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_CTX_set_sshkdf_type(kctx,
EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_ININITAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, &outlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
