EVP_MAC-KMAC(7SSL) OpenSSL EVP_MAC-KMAC(7SSL)
NAME
EVP_MAC-KMAC, EVP_MAC-KMAC128, EVP_MAC-KMAC256 - The KMAC EVP_MAC
implementations
DESCRIPTION
Support for computing KMAC MACs through the EVP_MAC API.
Identity
These implementations are identified with one of these names and
properties, to be used with EVP_MAC_fetch():
"KMAC-128", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"
"KMAC-256", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"
Supported parameters
The general description of these parameters can be found in "PARAMETERS"
in EVP_MAC(3).
All these parameters (except for "block-size") can be set with
EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(). Furthermore, the "size" parameter can be
retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with
EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size(). The length of the "size" parameter should
not exceed that of a size_t. Likewise, the "block-size" parameter can
be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with
EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size().
"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). The length of the key (in bytes) must be in
the range 4...512.
"custom" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CUSTOM) <octet string>
Sets the customization string. It is an optional value with a
length of at most 512 bytes, and is empty by default.
"size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
Sets the MAC size. By default, it is 32 for "KMAC-128" and 64 for
"KMAC-256".
"block-size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
Gets the MAC block size. It is 168 for "KMAC-128" and 136 for
"KMAC-256".
"xof" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_XOF) <integer>
The "xof" parameter value is expected to be 1 or 0. Use 1 to enable
XOF mode. The default value is 0.
"fips-indicator" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <int>
This settable parameter is described in provider-mac(7).
"no-short-mac" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_NO_SHORT_MAC) <integer>
This settable parameter is described in provider-mac(7). It is used
by the OpenSSL FIPS provider and the minimum length output for KMAC
is defined by NIST's SP 800-185 8.4.2.
"key-check" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>
This settable parameter is described in provider-mac(7).
The "custom" and "no-short-mac" parameters must be set as part of or
before the EVP_MAC_init() call. The "xof" and "size" parameters can be
set at any time before EVP_MAC_final(). The "key" parameter is set as
part of the EVP_MAC_init() call, but can be set before it instead.

/*
* Note: the following optional parameters can be set any time

goto err;
/* The update may be called multiple times here for streamed input */
