NAME

6       EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG EVP_RAND implementation
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Support for the HMAC deterministic random bit generator through the
10       EVP_RAND API.
11
12   Identity
13       "HMAC-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with
14       the EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
15
16   Supported parameters
17       The supported parameters are:
18
19       "state" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>
20       "strength" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>
21       "max_request" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>
22       "reseed_requests" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>
23       "reseed_time_interval" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>
24       "min_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
25       "max_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
26       "min_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
27       "max_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
28       "max_perslen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>
29       "max_adinlen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>
30       "reseed_counter" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>
31       "properties" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
32       "mac" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC) <UTF8 string>
33       "digest" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
34           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND(3).
35

NOTES

37       A context for HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:
38
39        EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
40        EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand);
41

EXAMPLES

43        EVP_RAND *rand;
44        EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
45        unsigned char bytes[100];
46        OSSL_PARAM params[3], *p = params;
47        unsigned int strength = 128;
48
49        rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
50        rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
51        EVP_RAND_free(rand);
52
53        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC, SN_hmac, 0);
54        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, 0);
55        *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
56        EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params);
57
58        EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0);
59
60        EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx);
