23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25OSSL_CRMF_pbm_new() generates a PBM (Password-Based MAC) based on given PBM
26parameters I<pbmp>, message I<msg>, and secret I<sec>, along with the respective
27lengths I<msglen> and I<seclen>.
28The optional library context I<libctx> and I<propq> parameters may be used
29to influence the selection of the MAC algorithm referenced in the I<pbmp>;
30see L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further information.
31On success writes the address of the newly
32allocated MAC via the I<mac> reference parameter and writes the length via the
33I<maclen> reference parameter unless it its NULL.
34
35OSSL_CRMF_pbmp_new() initializes and returns a new B<PBMParameter> structure
36with a new random salt of given length I<saltlen>,
37OWF (one-way function) NID I<owfnid>, OWF iteration count I<itercnt>,
38and MAC NID I<macnid>.
39The library context I<libctx> parameter may be used to select the provider
40for the random number generation (DRBG) and may be NULL for the default.
41
42=head1 NOTES
43
44The algorithms for the OWF (one-way function) and for the MAC (message
45authentication code) may be any with a NID defined in F<< <openssl/objects.h> >>.
46As specified by RFC 4210, these should include NID_hmac_sha1.
47
48RFC 4210 recommends that the salt SHOULD be at least 8 bytes (64 bits) long,
49where 16 bytes is common.
50
51The iteration count must be at least 100, as stipulated by RFC 4211, and is
52limited to at most 100000 to avoid DoS through manipulated or otherwise
53malformed input.
54
55=head1 RETURN VALUES
56
57OSSL_CRMF_pbm_new() returns 1 on success, 0 on error.
58
59OSSL_CRMF_pbmp_new() returns a new and initialized OSSL_CRMF_PBMPARAMETER
60structure, or NULL on error.
61
62=head1 EXAMPLES
63
64 OSSL_CRMF_PBMPARAMETER *pbm = NULL;
65 unsigned char *msg = "Hello";
66 unsigned char *sec = "SeCrEt";
67 unsigned char *mac = NULL;
68 size_t maclen;
69
70 if ((pbm = OSSL_CRMF_pbmp_new(16, NID_sha256, 500, NID_hmac_sha1) == NULL))
71     goto err;
72 if (!OSSL_CRMF_pbm_new(pbm, msg, 5, sec, 6, &mac, &maclen))
