Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_KDF-SSHKDF 7" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_KDF-SSHKDF - The SSHKDF EVP_KDF implementation Header "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.

Subsection "Identity" "SSHKDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function. Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are: Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"

0

Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>" Item """key"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>"

These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF\|(3).

Item """xcghash"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_XCGHASH) <octet string>"

0

Item """session_id"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_SESSION_ID) <octet string>"

These parameters set the respective values for the KDF. If a value is already set, the contents are replaced.

Item """type"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_TYPE) <UTF8 string>" This parameter sets the type for the SSHKDF operation. There are six supported types: Header "NOTES" A context for SSHKDF can be obtained by calling:

.Vb 2 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSHKDF", NULL); EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf); .Ve

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_CTX_get_kdf_size\|(3) to obtain the requisite length is not meaningful. The caller must allocate a buffer of the desired length, and pass that buffer to the \fBEVP_KDF_derive\|(3) function along with the desired length.

Header "EXAMPLES" This example derives an 8 byte IV using SHA-256 with a 1K "key" and appropriate "xcghash" and "session_id" values:

.Vb 9 EVP_KDF *kdf; EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx; char type = EVP_KDF_SSHKDF_TYPE_INITIAL_IV_CLI_TO_SRV; 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); OSSL_PARAM params[6], *p = params; \& kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "SSHKDF", NULL); 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_KEY, key, (size_t)1024); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_XCGHASH, xcghash, (size_t)32); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_SESSION_ID, session_id, (size_t)32); *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_TYPE, &type, sizeof(type)); *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, outlen, params) <= 0) /* Error */ .Ve
