=head1 NAME

EVP_KDF-X963 - The X9.63-2001 EVP_KDF implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The EVP_KDF-X963 algorithm implements the key derivation function (X963KDF).
X963KDF is used by Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) for EC KeyAgreement, to
derive a key using input such as a shared secret key and shared info.

=head2 Identity

"X963KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.

=head2 Supported parameters

The supported parameters are:

=over 4

=item "properties" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>

=item "digest" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

These parameters work as described in L<EVP_KDF(3)/PARAMETERS>.

=item "key" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>

The shared secret used for key derivation.
This parameter sets the secret.

=item "info" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO>) <octet string>

This parameter specifies an optional value for shared info.

=back

=head1 NOTES

X963KDF is very similar to the SSKDF that uses a digest as the auxiliary function,
X963KDF appends the counter to the secret, whereas SSKDF prepends the counter.

A context for X963KDF can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);

The output length of an X963KDF is specified via the I<keylen>
parameter to the L<EVP_KDF_derive(3)> function.

=head1 EXAMPLES

This example derives 10 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and sharedinfo
value "label":

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

 kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", 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_SECRET,
                                          "secret", (size_t)6);
 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO,
                                          "label", (size_t)5);
 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
 if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
     error("EVP_KDF_derive");
 }

 EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
