=head1 NAME

EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG EVP_RAND implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Support for the HMAC deterministic random bit generator through the
B<EVP_RAND> API.

=head2 Identity

"HMAC-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
EVP_RAND_fetch() function.

=head2 Supported parameters

The supported parameters are:

=over 4

=item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer>

=item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer>

=item "max_request" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST>) <unsigned integer>

=item "reseed_requests" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS>) <unsigned integer>

=item "reseed_time_interval" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL>) <integer>

=item "min_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "max_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "min_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "max_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "max_perslen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "max_adinlen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN>) <unsigned integer>

=item "reseed_counter" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER>) <unsigned integer>

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

=item "mac" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC>) <UTF8 string>

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

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

=back

=head1 NOTES

When using the FIPS provider, only these digests are permitted (as per
L<FIPS 140-3 IG D.R|https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>):

=over 4

=item SHA-1

=item SHA2-256

=item SHA2-512

=item SHA3-256

=item SHA3-512

=back

A context for HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:

 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand);

=head1 EXAMPLES

 EVP_RAND *rand;
 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
 unsigned char bytes[100];
 OSSL_PARAM params[3], *p = params;
 unsigned int strength = 128;

 rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
 rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
 EVP_RAND_free(rand);

 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC, SN_hmac, 0);
 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, 0);
 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
 EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params);

 EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0);

 EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx);

=head1 HISTORY

OpenSSL 3.1.1 introduced the B<-no_drbg_truncated_digests> option to
fipsinstall which restricts the permitted digests when using the FIPS
provider in a complaint manner.  For details refer to
L<FIPS 140-3 IG D.R|https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>).
