|
|
This page contains information useful to provider authors.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A \fIprovider\fR, in OpenSSL terms, is a unit of code that provides one
|
|
or more implementations for various operations for diverse algorithms
|
|
that one might want to perform.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An \fIoperation\fR is something one wants to do, such as encryption and
|
|
decryption, key derivation, \s-1MAC\s0 calculation, signing and verification,
|
|
etc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An \fIalgorithm\fR is a named method to perform an operation.
|
|
Very often, the algorithms revolve around cryptographic operations,
|
|
but may also revolve around other types of operation, such as managing
|
|
certain types of objects.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See \fIcrypto\fR\|(7) for further details.
|
|
.SS "Provider"
|
|
.IX Subsection "Provider"
|
|
A \fIprovider\fR offers an initialization function, as a set of base
|
|
functions in the form of an \s-1\fIOSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR\|(3) array, and by extension,
|
|
a set of \s-1\fIOSSL_ALGORITHM\s0\fR\|(3)s (see \fIopenssl\-core.h\fR\|(7)).
|
|
It may be a dynamically loadable module, or may be built-in, in
|
|
OpenSSL libraries or in the application.
|
|
If it's a dynamically loadable module, the initialization function
|
|
must be named \f(CW\*(C`OSSL_provider_init\*(C'\fR and must be exported.
|
|
If it's built-in, the initialization function may have any name.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The initialization function must have the following signature:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 3
|
|
\& int NAME(const OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
|
|
\& const OSSL_DISPATCH *in, const OSSL_DISPATCH **out,
|
|
\& void **provctx);
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIhandle\fR is the OpenSSL library object for the provider, and works
|
|
as a handle for everything the OpenSSL libraries need to know about
|
|
the provider.
|
|
For the provider itself, it is passed to some of the functions given in the
|
|
dispatch array \fIin\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIin\fR is a dispatch array of base functions offered by the OpenSSL
|
|
libraries, and the available functions are further described in
|
|
\&\fIprovider\-base\fR\|(7).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fI*out\fR must be assigned a dispatch array of base functions that the
|
|
provider offers to the OpenSSL libraries.
|
|
The functions that may be offered are further described in
|
|
\&\fIprovider\-base\fR\|(7), and they are the central means of communication
|
|
between the OpenSSL libraries and the provider.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fI*provctx\fR should be assigned a provider specific context to allow
|
|
the provider multiple simultaneous uses.
|
|
This pointer will be passed to various operation functions offered by
|
|
the provider.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that the provider will not be made available for applications to use until
|
|
the initialization function has completed and returned successfully.
|
|
.PP
|
|
One of the functions the provider offers to the OpenSSL libraries is
|
|
the central mechanism for the OpenSSL libraries to get access to
|
|
operation implementations for diverse algorithms.
|
|
Its referred to with the number \fB\s-1OSSL_FUNC_PROVIDER_QUERY_OPERATION\s0\fR
|
|
and has the following signature:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 3
|
|
\& const OSSL_ALGORITHM *provider_query_operation(void *provctx,
|
|
\& int operation_id,
|
|
\& const int *no_store);
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIprovctx\fR is the provider specific context that was passed back by
|
|
the initialization function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIoperation_id\fR is an operation identity (see \*(L"Operations\*(R" below).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIno_store\fR is a flag back to the OpenSSL libraries which, when
|
|
nonzero, signifies that the OpenSSL libraries will not store a
|
|
reference to the returned data in their internal store of
|
|
implementations.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The returned \s-1\fIOSSL_ALGORITHM\s0\fR\|(3) is the foundation of any OpenSSL
|
|
library \s-1API\s0 that uses providers for their implementation, most
|
|
commonly in the \fIfetching\fR type of functions
|
|
(see \*(L"\s-1ALGORITHM FETCHING\*(R"\s0 in \fIcrypto\fR\|(7)).
|
|
.SS "Operations"
|
|
.IX Subsection "Operations"
|
|
Operations are referred to with numbers, via macros with names
|
|
starting with \f(CW\*(C`OSSL_OP_\*(C'\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
With each operation comes a set of defined function types that a
|
|
provider may or may not offer, depending on its needs.
|
|
.PP
|
|

.PP
|

\fIAlgorithm naming\fR
|
|
.IX Subsection "Algorithm naming"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Algorithm names are case insensitive. Any particular algorithm can have multiple
|
|
aliases associated with it. The canonical OpenSSL naming scheme follows this
|
|
format:
|
|
.PP
|
|
ALGNAME[\s-1VERSION\s0?][\-SUBNAME[\s-1VERSION\s0?]?][\-SIZE?][\-MODE?]
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\s-1VERSION\s0 is only present if there are multiple versions of an algorithm (e.g.
|
|
\&\s-1MD2, MD4, MD5\s0). It may be omitted if there is only one version.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\s-1SUBNAME\s0 may be present where multiple algorithms are combined together,
|
|
e.g. \s-1MD5\-SHA1.\s0
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\s-1SIZE\s0 is only present if multiple versions of an algorithm exist with different
|
|
sizes (e.g. \s-1AES\-128\-CBC, AES\-256\-CBC\s0)
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\s-1MODE\s0 is only present where applicable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Other aliases may exist for example where standards bodies or common practice
|
|
use alternative names or names that OpenSSL has used historically.
