Key and algorithm types#

psa_key_type_t#

typedef uint16_t psa_key_type_t

Encoding of a key type.

Values of this type are generally constructed by macros called PSA_KEY_TYPE_xxx.

Note

• Values of this type are encoded in the persistent key store. Any changes to existing values will require bumping the storage format version and providing a translation when reading the old format.

psa_ecc_family_t#

typedef uint8_t psa_ecc_family_t

The type of PSA elliptic curve family identifiers.

Values of this type are generally constructed by macros called PSA_ECC_FAMILY_xxx.

The curve identifier is required to create an ECC key using the PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_KEY_PAIR() or PSA_KEY_TYPE_ECC_PUBLIC_KEY() macros.

Values defined by this standard will never be in the range 0x80-0xff. Vendors who define additional families must use an encoding in this range.

Note

• Values of this type are encoded in the persistent key store. Any changes to existing values will require bumping the storage format version and providing a translation when reading the old format.

psa_dh_family_t#

typedef uint8_t psa_dh_family_t

The type of PSA Diffie-Hellman group family identifiers.

Values of this type are generally constructed by macros called PSA_DH_FAMILY_xxx.

Values defined by this standard will never be in the range 0x80-0xff. Vendors who define additional families must use an encoding in this range.

Note

• Values of this type are encoded in the persistent key store. Any changes to existing values will require bumping the storage format version and providing a translation when reading the old format.

psa_algorithm_t#

typedef uint32_t psa_algorithm_t

Encoding of a cryptographic algorithm.

Values of this type are generally constructed by macros called PSA_ALG_xxx.

For algorithms that can be applied to multiple key types, this type does not encode the key type. For example, for symmetric ciphers based on a block cipher, psa_algorithm_t encodes the block cipher mode and the padding mode while the block cipher itself is encoded via psa_key_type_t.

Note

The key policy determines which key derivation algorithm the key can be used for.

PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD#

#define PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD

((psa_key_type_t) 0x1203)

A low-entropy secret for password hashing or key derivation.

This key type is suitable for passwords and passphrases which are typically intended to be memorizable by humans, and have a low entropy relative to their size. It can be used for randomly generated or derived keys with maximum or near-maximum entropy, but PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE is more suitable for such keys. It is not suitable for passwords with extremely low entropy, such as numerical PINs.

These keys can be used as the PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_PASSWORD input of key derivation algorithms. Algorithms that accept such an input were designed to accept low-entropy secret and are known as password hashing or key stretching algorithms.

This is the prehashing for Ed448ph (see PSA_ALG_ED448PH). For other scenarios where a hash function based on SHA3/SHAKE is desired, SHA3-512 has the same output size and a (theoretically) higher security strength.

PSA_ALG_ANY_HASH#

#define PSA_ALG_ANY_HASH

((psa_algorithm_t) 0x020000ff)

In a hash-and-sign algorithm policy, allow any hash algorithm.

This value may be used to form the algorithm usage field of a policy for a signature algorithm that is parametrized by a hash. The key may then be used to perform operations using the same signature algorithm parametrized with any supported hash.

That is, suppose that PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE is one of the following macros:

• PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN, PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS, PSA_ALG_RSA_PSS_ANY_SALT,

• PSA_ALG_ECDSA, PSA_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA. Then you may create and use a key as follows:

• Set the key usage field using PSA_ALG_ANY_HASH, for example:

  psa_set_key_usage_flags(&attributes, PSA_KEY_USAGE_SIGN_HASH); // or VERIFY
  psa_set_key_algorithm(&attributes, PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE(PSA_ALG_ANY_HASH));
  

• Import or generate key material.

• Call psa_sign_hash() or psa_verify_hash(), passing an algorithm built from PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE and a specific hash. Each call to sign or verify a message may use a different hash.

  psa_sign_hash(key, PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE(PSA_ALG_SHA_256), ...);
  psa_sign_hash(key, PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE(PSA_ALG_SHA_512), ...);
  psa_sign_hash(key, PSA_xxx_SIGNATURE(PSA_ALG_SHA3_256), ...);
  

This value may not be used to build other algorithms that are parametrized over a hash. For any valid use of this macro to build an algorithm alg, PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN(alg) is true.

This value may not be used to build an algorithm specification to perform an operation. It is only valid to build policies.

PSA_ALG_TRUNCATED_MAC#

#define PSA_ALG_TRUNCATED_MAC

Macro to build a truncated MAC algorithm.

A truncated MAC algorithm is identical to the corresponding MAC algorithm except that the MAC value for the truncated algorithm consists of only the first mac_length bytes of the MAC value for the untruncated algorithm.

Note

• This macro may allow constructing algorithm identifiers that are not valid, either because the specified length is larger than the untruncated MAC or because the specified length is smaller than permitted by the implementation.

• It is implementation-defined whether a truncated MAC that is truncated to the same length as the MAC of the untruncated algorithm is considered identical to the untruncated algorithm for policy comparison purposes.

Returns

• The corresponding MAC algorithm with the specified length.

Macro to build a MAC minimum-MAC-length wildcard algorithm.

A minimum-MAC-length MAC wildcard algorithm permits all MAC algorithms sharing the same base algorithm, and where the (potentially truncated) MAC length of the specific algorithm is equal to or larger then the wildcard algorithm's minimum MAC length.

Note

• When setting the minimum required MAC length to less than the smallest MAC length allowed by the base algorithm, this effectively becomes an 'any-MAC-length-allowed' policy for that base algorithm.

Returns

• The corresponding MAC wildcard algorithm with the specified minimum length.

• Unspecified if mac_alg is not a supported MAC algorithm or if min_mac_length is less than 1 or too large for the specified MAC algorithm.

XTS is a cipher mode which is built from a block cipher. It requires at least one full block of input, but beyond this minimum the input does not need to be a whole number of blocks.

PSA_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING#

#define PSA_ALG_ECB_NO_PADDING

((psa_algorithm_t) 0x04404400)

The Electronic Code Book (ECB) mode of a block cipher, with no padding.

Warnings

• ECB mode does not protect the confidentiality of the encrypted data except in extremely narrow circumstances. It is recommended that applications only use ECB if they need to construct an operating mode that the implementation does not provide. Implementations are encouraged to provide the modes that applications need in preference to supporting direct access to ECB.

The underlying block cipher is determined by the key type.

This symmetric cipher mode can only be used with messages whose lengths are a multiple of the block size of the chosen block cipher.

ECB mode does not accept an initialization vector (IV). When using a multi-part cipher operation with this algorithm, psa_cipher_generate_iv() and psa_cipher_set_iv() must not be called.

#define PSA_ALG_AEAD_WITH_SHORTENED_TAG

Macro to build a shortened AEAD algorithm.

A shortened AEAD algorithm is similar to the corresponding AEAD algorithm, but has an authentication tag that consists of fewer bytes. Depending on the algorithm, the tag length may affect the calculation of the ciphertext.

Note

• When setting the minimum required tag length to less than the smallest tag length allowed by the base algorithm, this effectively becomes an 'any-tag-length-allowed' policy for that base algorithm.

Note that the input is padded with zeros on the left or truncated on the left as required to fit the curve size.

PSA_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA_BASE#

The representation of a signature is the same as with PSA_ALG_ECDSA().

Note that when this algorithm is used for verification, signatures made with randomized ECDSA (PSA_ALG_ECDSA(hash_alg)) with the same private key are accepted. In other words, PSA_ALG_DETERMINISTIC_ECDSA(hash_alg) differs from PSA_ALG_ECDSA(hash_alg) only for signature, not for verification.

#define PSA_ALG_PURE_EDDSA

((psa_algorithm_t) 0x06000800)

Edwards-curve digital signature algorithm without prehashing (PureEdDSA), using standard parameters.

Contexts are not supported in the current version of this specification because there is no suitable signature interface that can take the context as a parameter. A future version of this specification may add suitable functions and extend this algorithm to support contexts.

PureEdDSA requires an elliptic curve key on a twisted Edwards curve. In this specification, the following curves are supported:

• PSA_ECC_FAMILY_TWISTED_EDWARDS, 255-bit: Ed25519 as specified in RFC 8032. The curve is Edwards25519. The hash function used internally is SHA-512.

• PSA_ECC_FAMILY_TWISTED_EDWARDS, 448-bit: Ed448 as specified in RFC 8032. The curve is Edwards448. The hash function used internally is the first 114 bytes of the SHAKE256 output.

This algorithm can be used with psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message(). Since there is no prehashing, it cannot be used with psa_sign_hash() or psa_verify_hash().

The signature format is the concatenation of R and S as defined by RFC 8032 §5.1.6 and §5.2.6 (a 64-byte string for Ed25519, a 114-byte string for Ed448).

    (PSA_ALG_HASH_EDDSA_BASE | (PSA_ALG_SHA_512 & PSA_ALG_HASH_MASK))

Edwards-curve digital signature algorithm with prehashing (HashEdDSA), using SHA-512 and the Edwards25519 curve.

See PSA_ALG_PURE_EDDSA regarding context support and the signature format.

This algorithm is Ed25519 as specified in RFC 8032. The curve is Edwards25519. The prehash is SHA-512. The hash function used internally is SHA-512.

This is a hash-and-sign algorithm: to calculate a signature, you can either:

• call psa_sign_message() on the message;

• or calculate the SHA-512 hash of the message with psa_hash_compute() or with a multi-part hash operation started with psa_hash_setup(), using the hash algorithm PSA_ALG_SHA_512, then sign the calculated hash with psa_sign_hash(). Verifying a signature is similar, using psa_verify_message() or psa_verify_hash() instead of the signature function.

PSA_ALG_ED448PH#

#define PSA_ALG_ED448PH

    (PSA_ALG_HASH_EDDSA_BASE | (PSA_ALG_SHAKE256_512 & PSA_ALG_HASH_MASK))

Edwards-curve digital signature algorithm with prehashing (HashEdDSA), using SHAKE256 and the Edwards448 curve.

See PSA_ALG_PURE_EDDSA regarding context support and the signature format.

This algorithm is Ed448 as specified in RFC 8032. The curve is Edwards448. The prehash is the first 64 bytes of the SHAKE256 output. The hash function used internally is the first 114 bytes of the SHAKE256 output.

This is a hash-and-sign algorithm: to calculate a signature, you can either:

• call psa_sign_message() on the message;

• or calculate the first 64 bytes of the SHAKE256 output of the message with psa_hash_compute() or with a multi-part hash operation started with psa_hash_setup(), using the hash algorithm PSA_ALG_SHAKE256_512, then sign the calculated hash with psa_sign_hash(). Verifying a signature is similar, using psa_verify_message() or psa_verify_hash() instead of the signature function.

PSA_ALG_IS_VENDOR_HASH_AND_SIGN#

#define PSA_ALG_IS_VENDOR_HASH_AND_SIGN

(alg)

PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH#

#define PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH

Whether the specified algorithm is a signature algorithm that can be used with psa_sign_hash() and psa_verify_hash().

This encompasses all strict hash-and-sign algorithms categorized by PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN(), as well as algorithms that follow the paradigm more loosely:

• PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_SIGN_RAW (expects its input to be an encoded hash)

• PSA_ALG_ECDSA_ANY (doesn't specify what kind of hash the input is)

Returns

• 1 if alg is a signature algorithm that can be used to sign a hash. 0 if alg is a signature algorithm that can only be used to sign a message. 0 if alg is not a signature algorithm. This macro can return either 0 or 1 if alg is not a supported algorithm identifier.

PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_MESSAGE#

#define PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_MESSAGE

(alg)

Whether the specified algorithm is a signature algorithm that can be used with psa_sign_message() and psa_verify_message().

Returns

• 1 if alg is a signature algorithm that can be used to sign a message. 0 if alg is a signature algorithm that can only be used to sign an already-calculated hash. 0 if alg is not a signature algorithm. This macro can return either 0 or 1 if alg is not a supported algorithm identifier.

PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN#

#define PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN

Whether the specified algorithm is a hash-and-sign algorithm.

Hash-and-sign algorithms are asymmetric (public-key) signature algorithms structured in two parts: first the calculation of a hash in a way that does not depend on the key, then the calculation of a signature from the hash value and the key. Hash-and-sign algorithms encode the hash used for the hashing step, and you can call PSA_ALG_SIGN_GET_HASH to extract this algorithm.

Thus, for a hash-and-sign algorithm, psa_sign_message(key, alg, input, ...) is equivalent to

psa_hash_compute(PSA_ALG_SIGN_GET_HASH(alg), input, ..., hash, ...);
psa_sign_hash(key, alg, hash, ..., signature, ...);

Most usefully, separating the hash from the signature allows the hash to be calculated in multiple steps with psa_hash_setup(), psa_hash_update() and psa_hash_finish(). Likewise psa_verify_message() is equivalent to calculating the hash and then calling psa_verify_hash().

Returns

• 1 if alg is a hash-and-sign algorithm, 0 otherwise. This macro may return either 0 or 1 if alg is not a supported algorithm identifier.

PSA_ALG_SIGN_GET_HASH#

#define PSA_ALG_SIGN_GET_HASH

A hash-and-sign algorithm is a signature algorithm which is composed of two phases: first a hashing phase which does not use the key and produces a hash of the input message, then a signing phase which only uses the hash and the key and not the message itself.

Returns

• The underlying hash algorithm if alg is a hash-and-sign algorithm.

• 0 if alg is a signature algorithm that does not follow the hash-and-sign structure.

• Unspecified if alg is not a signature algorithm or if it is not supported by the implementation.

PSA_ALG_HKDF#

#define PSA_ALG_HKDF

(hash_alg)

Macro to build an HKDF algorithm.

For example, PSA_ALG_HKDF(PSA_ALG_SHA_256) is HKDF using HMAC-SHA-256.

This key derivation algorithm uses the following inputs:

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SALT is the salt used in the "extract" step. It is optional; if omitted, the derivation uses an empty salt.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET is the secret key used in the "extract" step.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_INFO is the info string used in the "expand" step. You must pass PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SALT before PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET. You may pass PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_INFO at any time after steup and before starting to generate output.

  Warnings

  • HKDF processes the salt as follows: first hash it with hash_alg if the salt is longer than the block size of the hash algorithm; then pad with null bytes up to the block size. As a result, it is possible for distinct salt inputs to result in the same outputs. To ensure unique outputs, it is recommended to use a fixed length for salt values.

  Returns

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET is the input keying material used in the "extract" step. The inputs are mandatory and must be passed in the order above. Each input may only be passed once.

Warnings

• HKDF-Extract is not meant to be used on its own. PSA_ALG_HKDF should be used instead if possible. PSA_ALG_HKDF_EXTRACT is provided as a separate algorithm for the sake of protocols that use it as a building block. It may also be a slight performance optimization in applications that use HKDF with the same salt and key but many different info strings.

• HKDF processes the salt as follows: first hash it with hash_alg if the salt is longer than the block size of the hash algorithm; then pad with null bytes up to the block size. As a result, it is possible for distinct salt inputs to result in the same outputs. To ensure unique outputs, it is recommended to use a fixed length for salt values.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_INFO is the info string.

The inputs are mandatory and must be passed in the order above. Each input may only be passed once.

Warnings

• HKDF-Expand is not meant to be used on its own. PSA_ALG_HKDF should be used instead if possible.

PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF#

#define PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF

(hash_alg)

Macro to build a TLS-1.2 PRF algorithm.

TLS 1.2 uses a custom pseudorandom function (PRF) for key schedule, specified in Section 5 of RFC 5246. It is based on HMAC and can be used with either SHA-256 or SHA-384.

This key derivation algorithm uses the following inputs, which must be passed in the order given here:

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SEED is the seed.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET is the secret key.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_LABEL is the label.

For the application to TLS-1.2 key expansion, the seed is the concatenation of ServerHello.Random + ClientHello.Random, and the label is "key expansion".

((psa_algorithm_t) 0x08000300)

PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS#

#define PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS

(hash_alg)

Macro to build a TLS-1.2 PSK-to-MasterSecret algorithm.

In a pure-PSK handshake in TLS 1.2, the master secret is derived from the PreSharedKey (PSK) through the application of padding (RFC 4279, Section 2) and the TLS-1.2 PRF (RFC 5246, Section 5). The latter is based on HMAC and can be used with either SHA-256 or SHA-384.

This key derivation algorithm uses the following inputs, which must be passed in the order given here:

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SEED is the seed.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET is the other secret for the computation of the premaster secret. This input is optional; if omitted, it defaults to a string of null bytes with the same length as the secret (PSK) input.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET is the secret key.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_LABEL is the label.

For the application to TLS-1.2, the seed (which is forwarded to the TLS-1.2 PRF) is the concatenation of the ClientHello.Random + ServerHello.Random, the label is "master secret" or "extended master secret" and the other secret depends on the key exchange specified in the cipher suite:

• for a plain PSK cipher suite (RFC 4279, Section 2), omit PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_OTHER_SECRET

• for a DHE-PSK (RFC 4279, Section 3) or ECDHE-PSK cipher suite (RFC 5489, Section 2), the other secret should be the output of the PSA_ALG_FFDH or PSA_ALG_ECDH key agreement performed with the peer. The recommended way to pass this input is to use a key derivation algorithm constructed as PSA_ALG_KEY_AGREEMENT(ka_alg, PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS(hash_alg)) and to call psa_key_derivation_key_agreement(). Alternatively, this input may be an output of psa_raw_key_agreement() passed with psa_key_derivation_input_bytes(), or an equivalent input passed with psa_key_derivation_input_bytes() or psa_key_derivation_input_key().

• for a RSA-PSK cipher suite (RFC 4279, Section 4), the other secret should be the 48-byte client challenge (the PreMasterSecret of (RFC 5246, Section 7.4.7.1)) concatenation of the TLS version and a 46-byte random string chosen by the client. On the server, this is typically an output of psa_asymmetric_decrypt() using PSA_ALG_RSA_PKCS1V15_CRYPT, passed to the key derivation operation with psa_key_derivation_input_bytes().

For example, PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS(PSA_ALG_SHA_256) represents the TLS-1.2 PSK to MasterSecret derivation PRF using HMAC-SHA-256.

Returns

• The corresponding TLS-1.2 PSK to MS algorithm.

(hash_alg)

Macro to build a PBKDF2-HMAC password hashing / key stretching algorithm.

PBKDF2 is defined by PKCS#5, republished as RFC 8018 (section 5.2). This macro specifies the PBKDF2 algorithm constructed using a PRF based on HMAC with the specified hash. For example, PSA_ALG_PBKDF2_HMAC(PSA_ALG_SHA_256) specifies PBKDF2 using the PRF HMAC-SHA-256.

This key derivation algorithm uses the following inputs, which must be provided in the following order:

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_COST is the iteration count. This input step must be used exactly once.

• PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SALT is the salt. This input step must be used one or more times; if used several times, the inputs will be concatenated. This can be used to build the final salt from multiple sources, both public and secret (also known as pepper).

PSA_ALG_ECDH#

#define PSA_ALG_ECDH

((psa_algorithm_t) 0x09020000)

The elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement algorithm.

The shared secret produced by key agreement is the x-coordinate of the shared secret point. It is always ceiling(m / 8) bytes long where m is the bit size associated with the curve, i.e. the bit size of the order of the curve's coordinate field. When m is not a multiple of 8, the byte containing the most significant bit of the shared secret is padded with zero bits. The byte order is either little-endian or big-endian depending on the curve type.

This key type is for high-entropy secrets only. For low-entropy secrets, PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD should be used instead.

These keys can be used as the PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET or PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_PASSWORD input of key derivation algorithms.

The key policy determines which key derivation algorithm the key can be used for.

PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD#

#define PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD

((psa_key_type_t) 0x1203)

A low-entropy secret for password hashing or key derivation.

This key type is suitable for passwords and passphrases which are typically intended to be memorizable by humans, and have a low entropy relative to their size. It can be used for randomly generated or derived keys with maximum or near-maximum entropy, but PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE is more suitable for such keys. It is not suitable for passwords with extremely low entropy, such as numerical PINs.

These keys can be used as the PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_PASSWORD input of key derivation algorithms. Algorithms that accept such an input were designed to accept low-entropy secret and are known as password hashing or key stretching algorithms.

These keys cannot be used as the PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET input of key derivation algorithms, as the algorithms that take such an input expect it to be high-entropy.

The key policy determines which key derivation algorithm the key can be used for, among the permissible subset defined above.
