.SH NAME
EVP_KDF\-X963 \- The X9.63\-2001 EVP_KDF implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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.
.SS Identity
.IX Subsection "Identity"
"X963KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the \fBEVP_KDF_fetch()\fR function.
.SS "Supported parameters"
.IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
The supported parameters are:
.IP """properties"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
.PD 0
.IP """digest"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
.PD
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_KDF\fR\|(3).
.IP """key"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """key"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>"
The shared secret used for key derivation.
This parameter sets the secret.
.IP """info"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """info"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO) <octet string>"
This parameter specifies an optional value for shared info.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "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.
.PP
A context for X963KDF can be obtained by calling:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_KDF *kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "X963KDF", NULL);
\& EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
.Ve
.PP
The output length of an X963KDF is specified via the \fIkeylen\fR
parameter to the \fBEVP_KDF_derive\fR\|(3) function.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
This example derives 10 bytes, with the secret key "secret" and sharedinfo
value "label":
.PP

\& EVP_KDF *kdf;
\& EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
\& unsigned char out[10];

\& kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(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");
