4
5EVP_MAC-CMAC - The CMAC EVP_MAC implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Support for computing CMAC MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
10
11This implementation uses EVP_CIPHER functions to get access to the underlying
12cipher.
13
14=head2 Identity
15
16This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
17used with EVP_MAC_fetch():
18
19=over 4
20
21=item "CMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"
22
23=back
24
25=head2 Supported parameters
26
27The general description of these parameters can be found in
28L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.
29
30The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():
31
32=over 4
33
34=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
35
36Sets the MAC key.
37Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
38
39=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>
40
41Sets the name of the underlying cipher to be used. The mode of the cipher
42must be CBC.
43
44=item "properties" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>
45
46Sets the properties to be queried when trying to fetch the underlying cipher.
47This must be given together with the cipher naming parameter to be considered
48valid.
49
50=item "encrypt-check" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_ENCRYPT_CHECK>) <integer>
51
52This option is used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider.
53If required this parameter should be set before EVP_MAC_init()
54
55The default value of 1 causes an error when a unapproved Triple-DES encryption
56operation is triggered.
57Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved
58"fips-indicator" to 0.
59This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator"
60to return 0.
61
62=back
63
64The following parameters can be retrieved with
65EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():
66
67=over 4
68
69=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
70
71The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
72The length of the "size" parameter is equal to that of an B<unsigned int>.
73
74
75=item "block-size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
76
77Gets the MAC block size.  The "block-size" parameter can also be retrieved with
78EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size().
79
80=item "fips-indicator" (B<OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR>) <integer>
81
82This option is used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider.
83
84A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise.
85This may be used after calling EVP_MAC_final().
86It may return 0 if the "encrypt-check" option is set to 0.
