EVP_RAND-HASH-DRBG(7ossl)           OpenSSL          EVP_RAND-HASH-DRBG(7ossl)



NAME

       EVP_RAND-HASH-DRBG - The HASH DRBG EVP_RAND implementation


DESCRIPTION

       Support for the hash deterministic random bit generator through the
       EVP_RAND API.

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

   Supported parameters
       The supported parameters are:

       "state" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>
       "strength" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>
       "max_request" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_requests" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_time_interval" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>
       "min_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_entropylen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "min_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_noncelen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_perslen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "max_adinlen" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>
       "reseed_counter" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>
       "properties" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
       "digest" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND(3).

       "fips-indicator" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>
       "digest-check" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>
           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in
           provider-rand(7).


NOTES

       When the FIPS provider is installed using the
       -no_drbg_truncated_digests option to fipsinstall, only these digests
       are permitted (as per 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>):

       SHA-1
       SHA2-256
       SHA2-512
       SHA3-256
       SHA3-512

       A context for HASH DRBG can be obtained by calling:

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


EXAMPLES

        EVP_RAND *rand;
        EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
        unsigned char bytes[100];
        OSSL_PARAM params[2], *p = params;
        unsigned int strength = 128;

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

        *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha512, 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);


CONFORMING TO

       NIST SP 800-90A and SP 800-90B

HISTORY

       OpenSSL 3.1.1 introduced the -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 FIPS 140-3 IG D.R
