.SH "NAME"
EVP_PKEY\-FFC \- EVP_PKEY DSA and DH/DHX shared FFC parameters.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Finite field cryptography (\s-1FFC\s0) is a method of implementing discrete logarithm
cryptography using finite field mathematics. \s-1DSA\s0 is an example of \s-1FFC\s0 and
Diffie-Hellman key establishment algorithms specified in \s-1SP800\-56A\s0 can also be
implemented as \s-1FFC.\s0
.PP
The \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR and \fB\s-1DHX\s0\fR keytypes are implemented in OpenSSL's default and
\&\s-1FIPS\s0 providers.
The implementations support the basic \s-1DSA, DH\s0 and \s-1DHX\s0 keys, containing the public
and private keys \fIpub\fR and \fIpriv\fR as well as the three main domain parameters
\&\fIp\fR, \fIq\fR and \fIg\fR.
.PP
For \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR (and \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR that is not a named group) the \s-1FIPS186\-4\s0 standard
specifies that the values used for \s-1FFC\s0 parameter generation are also required
for parameter validation.
This means that optional \s-1FFC\s0 domain parameter values for \fIseed\fR, \fIpcounter\fR
and \fIgindex\fR may need to be stored for validation purposes.
For \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR the \fIseed\fR and \fIpcounter\fR can be stored in \s-1ASN1\s0 data
(but the \fIgindex\fR is not). For \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR however, these fields are not stored in
the \s-1ASN1\s0 data so they need to be stored externally if validation is required.
.PP
The \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR key type uses PKCS#3 format which saves p and g, but not the 'q' value.
The \fB\s-1DHX\s0\fR key type uses X9.42 format which saves the value of 'q' and this
must be used for \s-1FIPS186\-4.\s0
.SS "\s-1FFC\s0 parameters"
.IX Subsection "FFC parameters"
In addition to the common parameters that all keytypes should support (see
\&\*(L"Common parameters\*(R" in \fIprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)), the \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DH\s0\fR and \fB\s-1DHX\s0\fR keytype
implementations support the following.

An optional domain parameter \fIseed\fR value used during generation and validation
of \fIp\fR, \fIq\fR and canonical \fIg\fR.
For validation this needs to set the \fIseed\fR that was produced during generation.
.ie n .IP """gindex"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_GINDEX\s0\fR) <integer>" 4

Sets the index to use for canonical generation and verification of the generator
\&\fIg\fR.
Set this to a positive value from 0..FF to use this mode. This \fIgindex\fR can
then be reused during key validation to verify the value of \fIg\fR. If this value
is not set or is \-1 then unverifiable generation of the generator \fIg\fR will be
used.

For unverifiable generation of the generator \fIg\fR this value is output during
generation of \fIg\fR. Its value is the first integer larger than one that
satisfies g = h^j mod p (where g != 1 and \*(L"j\*(R" is the cofactor).

These boolean values are used during \s-1FIPS186\-4\s0 or \s-1FIPS186\-2\s0 key validation checks
(See \fIEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3)) to select validation options. By default
\&\fIvalidate-pq\fR and \fIvalidate-g\fR are both set to 1 to check that p,q and g are
valid. Either of these may be set to 0 to skip a test, which is mainly useful
for testing purposes.

This boolean value is used during key validation checks
(See \fIEVP_PKEY_param_check\fR\|(3)) to select the validation type. The default
value of 0 selects \s-1FIPS186\-4\s0 validation. Setting this value to 1 selects
