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);

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 <https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/cryptographic-module- validation-program/documents/fips%20140-3/FIPS%20140-3%20IG.pdf>.
