4
5EVP_RAND-HMAC-DRBG - The HMAC DRBG EVP_RAND implementation
6
7=head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9Support for the HMAC deterministic random bit generator through the
10B<EVP_RAND> API.
11
12=head2 Identity
13
14"HMAC-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
15EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
16
17=head2 Supported parameters
18
19The supported parameters are:
20
21=over 4
22

57=head1 NOTES
58
59A context for HMAC DRBG can be obtained by calling:
60
61 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
62 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand);
63
64=head1 EXAMPLES
65
66 EVP_RAND *rand;
67 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
68 unsigned char bytes[100];
69 OSSL_PARAM params[3], *p = params;
70 unsigned int strength = 128;
71
72 rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "HMAC-DRBG", NULL);
73 rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
74 EVP_RAND_free(rand);
75
76 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAC, SN_hmac, 0);
77 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_DIGEST, SN_sha256, 0);
78 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
79 EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params);
80
81 EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0);
82
83 EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx);
