=head1 NAME

EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF - The TLS1 PRF EVP_KDF implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Support for computing the B<TLS1> PRF through the B<EVP_KDF> API.

The EVP_KDF-TLS1_PRF algorithm implements the PRF used by TLS versions up to
and including TLS 1.2.

=head2 Identity

"TLS1-PRF" 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>.

The B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST> parameter is used to set the message digest
associated with the TLS PRF.
EVP_md5_sha1() is treated as a special case which uses the
PRF algorithm using both B<MD5> and B<SHA1> as used in TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

=item "secret" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SECRET>) <octet string>

This parameter sets the secret value of the TLS PRF.
Any existing secret value is replaced.

=item "seed" (B<OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SEED>) <octet string>

This parameter sets the context seed.
The length of the context seed cannot exceed 1024 bytes;
this should be more than enough for any normal use of the TLS PRF.

=back

=head1 NOTES

A context for the TLS PRF can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", NULL);
 EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);

The digest, secret value and seed must be set before a key is derived otherwise
an error will occur.

The output length of the PRF is specified by the I<keylen> parameter to the
EVP_KDF_derive() function.

=head1 EXAMPLES

This example derives 10 bytes using SHA-256 with the secret key "secret"
and seed value "seed":

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

 kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "TLS1-PRF", 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_SEED,
                                          "seed", (size_t)4);
 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
 if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
     error("EVP_KDF_derive");
 }
 EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);
