=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See L<provider(7)>
for further information.

The MAC operation enables providers to implement mac algorithms and make
them available to applications via the API functions L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>,
L<EVP_MAC_update(3)> and L<EVP_MAC_final(3)>.

All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
F<libcrypto> and the provider in L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays via
L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> arrays that are returned by the provider's
provider_query_operation() function
(see L<provider-base(7)/Provider Functions>).

All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn>, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> element named
B<OSSL_FUNC_{name}>.
For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx() has these:

 typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
 static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx_fn
     OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);

L<OSSL_DISPATCH(3)> arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>, as follows:

 OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx               OSSL_FUNC_MAC_NEWCTX
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_freectx              OSSL_FUNC_MAC_FREECTX
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_dupctx               OSSL_FUNC_MAC_DUPCTX

 OSSL_FUNC_mac_init                 OSSL_FUNC_MAC_INIT
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_update               OSSL_FUNC_MAC_UPDATE
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_final                OSSL_FUNC_MAC_FINAL

 OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_params           OSSL_FUNC_MAC_GET_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_MAC_GET_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_set_ctx_params       OSSL_FUNC_MAC_SET_CTX_PARAMS

 OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_params      OSSL_FUNC_MAC_GETTABLE_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_MAC_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS
 OSSL_FUNC_mac_settable_ctx_params  OSSL_FUNC_MAC_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS

A mac algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
In order to be a consistent set of functions, at least the following functions
must be implemented: OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_freectx(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_init(),
OSSL_FUNC_mac_update(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_final().
All other functions are optional.

=head2 Context Management Functions

OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx() should create and return a pointer to a provider side
structure for holding context information during a mac operation.
A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other mac
operation function calls.
The parameter I<provctx> is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see L<provider(7)>).

OSSL_FUNC_mac_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side mac context in
the I<mctx> parameter.
If it receives NULL as I<mctx> value, it should not do anything other than
return.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side mac context in the
I<mctx> parameter and return the duplicate copy.

=head2 Encryption/Decryption Functions

OSSL_FUNC_mac_init() initialises a mac operation given a newly created provider
side mac context in the I<mctx> parameter.  The I<params> are set before setting
the MAC I<key> of I<keylen> bytes.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_update() is called to supply data for MAC computation of a previously
initialised mac operation.
The I<mctx> parameter contains a pointer to a previously initialised provider
side context.
OSSL_FUNC_mac_update() may be called multiple times for a single mac operation.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_final() completes the MAC computation started through previous
OSSL_FUNC_mac_init() and OSSL_FUNC_mac_update() calls.
The I<mctx> parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context.
The resulting MAC should be written to I<out> and the amount of data written
to I<*outl>, which should not exceed I<outsize> bytes.
The same expectations apply to I<outsize> as documented for
L<EVP_MAC_final(3)>.

=head2 Mac Parameters

See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for further details on the parameters structure used by
these functions.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_params() gets details of parameter values associated with the
provider algorithm and stores them in I<params>.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_set_ctx_params() sets mac parameters associated with the given
provider side mac context I<mctx> to I<params>.
Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_ctx_params() gets details of currently set parameter values
associated with the given provider side mac context I<mctx> and stores them
in I<params>.
Passing NULL for I<params> should return true.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_ctx_params(),
and OSSL_FUNC_mac_settable_ctx_params() all return constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
arrays as descriptors of the parameters that OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_params(),
OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_ctx_params(), and OSSL_FUNC_mac_set_ctx_params()
can handle, respectively.  OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_ctx_params() and
OSSL_FUNC_mac_settable_ctx_params() will return the parameters associated
with the provider side context I<mctx> in its current state if it is
not NULL.  Otherwise, they return the parameters associated with the
provider side algorithm I<provctx>.

All MAC implementations are expected to handle the following parameters:

=over 4

=item with OSSL_FUNC_set_ctx_params():

=over 4

=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>

Sets the key in the associated MAC ctx.  This is identical to passing a I<key>
argument to the OSSL_FUNC_mac_init() function.

=back

=item with OSSL_FUNC_get_params():

=over 4

=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <integer>

Can be used to get the default MAC size (which might be the only allowable
MAC size for the implementation).

Note that some implementations allow setting the size that the resulting MAC
should have as well, see the documentation of the implementation.

=back

=over 4

=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE>) <integer>

Can be used to get the MAC block size (if supported by the algorithm).

=back

=back

The OpenSSL FIPS provider may support the following parameters:

=over 4

=item "fips-indicator" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR>) <int>

A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
This may be used after calling the final function. It may return 0 if
either "no-short-mac" or "key-check" are set to 0.

=item "no-short-mac" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_NO_SHORT_MAC>) <integer>

If required this parameter should be set early via an init function.
The default value of 1 causes an error when too short MAC output is
asked for.  Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.

=item "key-check" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK>) <integer>

If required this parameter should be set before OSSL_FUNC_mac_init.
The default value of 1 causes an error when small key sizes are
asked for.  Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved
"fips-indicator" to 0.
This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
to return 0.

=head1 NOTES

The MAC life-cycle is described in L<life_cycle-rand(7)>.  Providers should
ensure that the various transitions listed there are supported.  At some point
the EVP layer will begin enforcing the listed transitions.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OSSL_FUNC_mac_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_mac_dupctx() should return the newly created
provider side mac context, or NULL on failure.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_init(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_update(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_final(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_params(),
OSSL_FUNC_mac_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_mac_set_ctx_params() should return 1 for
success or 0 on error.

OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_params(), OSSL_FUNC_mac_gettable_ctx_params() and
OSSL_FUNC_mac_settable_ctx_params() should return a constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
array, or NULL if none is offered.
