9*b0d17251Schristos=head1 DESCRIPTION
10*b0d17251Schristos
11*b0d17251SchristosThe B<HMAC> and B<CMAC> key types are implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS
12*b0d17251Schristosproviders. Additionally the B<Siphash> and B<Poly1305> key types are implemented
13*b0d17251Schristosin the default provider. Performing MAC operations via an EVP_PKEY
14*b0d17251Schristosis considered legacy and are only available for backwards compatibility purposes
15*b0d17251Schristosand for a restricted set of algorithms. The preferred way of performing MAC
16*b0d17251Schristosoperations is via the EVP_MAC APIs. See L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
17*b0d17251Schristos
18*b0d17251SchristosFor further details on using EVP_PKEY based MAC keys see
19*b0d17251SchristosL<EVP_SIGNATURE-HMAC(7)>, L<EVP_SIGNATURE-Siphash(7)>,
20*b0d17251SchristosL<EVP_SIGNATURE-Poly1305(7)> or L<EVP_SIGNATURE-CMAC(7)>.
21*b0d17251Schristos
22*b0d17251Schristos=head2 Common MAC parameters
23*b0d17251Schristos
24*b0d17251SchristosAll the B<MAC> keytypes support the following parameters.
25*b0d17251Schristos
26*b0d17251Schristos=over 4
27*b0d17251Schristos
28*b0d17251Schristos=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <octet string>
29*b0d17251Schristos
30*b0d17251SchristosThe MAC key value.
31*b0d17251Schristos
32*b0d17251Schristos=item "properties" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
33*b0d17251Schristos
34*b0d17251SchristosA property query string to be used when any algorithms are fetched.

36*b0d17251Schristos=back
37*b0d17251Schristos
38*b0d17251Schristos=head2 CMAC parameters
39*b0d17251Schristos
40*b0d17251SchristosAs well as the parameters described above, the B<CMAC> keytype additionally
41*b0d17251Schristossupports the following parameters.
42*b0d17251Schristos
43*b0d17251Schristos=over 4
44*b0d17251Schristos
45*b0d17251Schristos=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
46*b0d17251Schristos
47*b0d17251SchristosThe name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC.
48*b0d17251Schristos
49*b0d17251Schristos=item "engine" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_ENGINE>) <UTF8 string>
50*b0d17251Schristos
51*b0d17251SchristosThe name of an engine to be used for the specified cipher (if any).
52*b0d17251Schristos
53*b0d17251Schristos=back
54*b0d17251Schristos
55*b0d17251Schristos=head2 Common MAC key generation parameters
56*b0d17251Schristos
57*b0d17251SchristosMAC key generation is unusual in that no new key is actually generated. Instead
58*b0d17251Schristosa new provider side key object is created with the supplied raw key value. This
59*b0d17251Schristosis done for backwards compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL.
60*b0d17251Schristos
61*b0d17251Schristos=over 4
62*b0d17251Schristos
63*b0d17251Schristos=item "priv" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY>) <octet string>
64*b0d17251Schristos
65*b0d17251SchristosThe MAC key value.
66*b0d17251Schristos
67*b0d17251Schristos=back
68*b0d17251Schristos
69*b0d17251Schristos=head2 CMAC key generation parameters
70*b0d17251Schristos
71*b0d17251SchristosIn addition to the common MAC key generation parameters, the CMAC key generation
72*b0d17251Schristosadditionally recognises the following.
73*b0d17251Schristos
74*b0d17251Schristos=over 4
75*b0d17251Schristos
76*b0d17251Schristos=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
77*b0d17251Schristos
78*b0d17251SchristosThe name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC.
