EVP_MAC-CMAC(7SSL) OpenSSL EVP_MAC-CMAC(7SSL)
NAME
EVP_MAC-CMAC - The CMAC EVP_MAC implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for computing CMAC MACs through the EVP_MAC API.
This implementation uses EVP_CIPHER functions to get access to the
underlying cipher.
Identity
This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
used with EVP_MAC_fetch():
"CMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"
Supported parameters
The general description of these parameters can be found in "PARAMETERS"
in EVP_MAC(3).
The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():
"key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
Sets the MAC key. Setting this parameter is identical to passing a
key to EVP_MAC_init(3).
"cipher" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER) <UTF8 string>
Sets the name of the underlying cipher to be used. The mode of the
cipher must be CBC.
"properties" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
Sets the properties to be queried when trying to fetch the
underlying cipher. This must be given together with the cipher
naming parameter to be considered valid.
"encrypt-check" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_ENCRYPT_CHECK) <integer>
This option is used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider. If required this
parameter should be set before EVP_MAC_init()
The default value of 1 causes an error when a unapproved Triple-DES
encryption operation is triggered. 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.
The following parameters can be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():
"size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with with
EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size(). The length of the "size" parameter is
equal to that of an unsigned int.
"block-size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
Gets the MAC block size. The "block-size" parameter can also be
retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size().
"fips-indicator" (OSSL_CIPHER_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>
This option is used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider.
A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0
otherwise. This may be used after calling EVP_MAC_final(). It may
return 0 if the "encrypt-check" option is set to 0.
