DESCRIPTION
All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
libcrypto and the provider in OSSL_DISPATCH(3) arrays, in the call of
the provider initialization function. See "Provider" in provider(7)
for a description of the initialization function. They are known as
"upcalls".
All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition
named OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from a OSSL_DISPATCH(3) element named
OSSL_FUNC_{name}. For example, the "function" core_gettable_params()
has these:
typedef OSSL_PARAM *
(OSSL_FUNC_core_gettable_params_fn)(const OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle);
static ossl_inline OSSL_NAME_core_gettable_params_fn
OSSL_FUNC_core_gettable_params(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);

Core functions
core_gettable_params() returns a constant array of descriptor
OSSL_PARAM(3), for parameters that core_get_params() can handle.
core_get_params() retrieves parameters from the core for the given
handle. See "Core parameters" below for a description of currently
known parameters.
The core_thread_start() function informs the core that the provider has
stated an interest in the current thread. The core will inform the
provider when the thread eventually stops. It must be passed the handle
for this provider, as well as a callback handfn which will be called
when the thread stops. The callback will subsequently be called, with
the supplied argument arg, from the thread that is stopping and gets
passed the provider context as an argument. This may be useful to
perform thread specific clean up such as freeing thread local
variables.
core_get_libctx() retrieves the core context in which the library
object for the current provider is stored, accessible through the
handle. This function is useful only for built-in providers such as
the default provider. Never cast this to OSSL_LIB_CTX in a provider
that is not built-in as the OSSL_LIB_CTX of the library loading the
provider might be a completely different structure than the
OSSL_LIB_CTX of the library the provider is linked to. Use
OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_child(3) instead to obtain a proper library context
that is linked to the application library context.
core_new_error(), core_set_error_debug() and core_vset_error() are
building blocks for reporting an error back to the core, with reference
to the handle.
core_new_error()
allocates a new thread specific error record.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function ERR_new(3).
core_set_error_debug()
sets debugging information in the current thread specific error
record. The debugging information includes the name of the file
file, the line line and the function name func where the error
occurred.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function ERR_set_debug(3).
core_vset_error()
sets the reason for the error, along with any addition data. The
reason is a number defined by the provider and used to index the
reason strings table that's returned by
provider_get_reason_strings(). The additional data is given as a
format string fmt and a set of arguments args, which are treated in
the same manner as with BIO_vsnprintf(). file and line may also be
passed to indicate exactly where the error occurred or was
reported.
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function ERR_vset_error(3).
The core_obj_create() function registers a new OID and associated short
name sn and long name ln for the given handle. It is similar to the
OpenSSL function OBJ_create(3) except that it returns 1 on success or 0
on failure. It will treat as success the case where the OID already
exists (even if the short name sn or long name ln provided as arguments
differ from those associated with the existing OID, in which case the
new names are not associated). This function is not thread safe.
The core_obj_add_sigid() function registers a new composite signature
algorithm (sign_name) consisting of an underlying signature algorithm
(pkey_name) and digest algorithm (digest_name) for the given handle. It
assumes that the OIDs for the composite signature algorithm as well as
for the underlying signature and digest algorithms are either already
known to OpenSSL or have been registered via a call to
core_obj_create(). It corresponds to the OpenSSL function
OBJ_add_sigid(3), except that the objects are identified by name rather
than a numeric NID. Any name (OID, short name or long name) can be used
to identify the object. It will treat as success the case where the
composite signature algorithm already exists (even if registered
against a different underlying signature or digest algorithm). For
digest_name, NULL or an empty string is permissible for signature
algorithms that do not need a digest to operate correctly. The function
returns 1 on success or 0 on failure. This function is not thread
safe.
CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_zalloc(), CRYPTO_free(), CRYPTO_clear_free(),
CRYPTO_realloc(), CRYPTO_clear_realloc(), CRYPTO_secure_malloc(),
CRYPTO_secure_zalloc(), CRYPTO_secure_free(),
CRYPTO_secure_clear_free(), CRYPTO_secure_allocated(), BIO_new_file(),
BIO_new_mem_buf(), BIO_read_ex(), BIO_write_ex(), BIO_up_ref(),
BIO_free(), BIO_vprintf(), BIO_vsnprintf(), BIO_gets(), BIO_puts(),
BIO_ctrl(), OPENSSL_cleanse() and OPENSSL_hexstr2buf() correspond
exactly to the public functions with the same name. As a matter of
fact, the pointers in the OSSL_DISPATCH(3) array are typically direct
pointers to those public functions. Note that the BIO functions take an
OSSL_CORE_BIO type rather than the standard BIO type. This is to ensure
that a provider does not mix BIOs from the core with BIOs used on the
provider side (the two are not compatible).
OSSL_SELF_TEST_set_callback() is used to set an optional callback that
can be passed into a provider. This may be ignored by a provider.
get_entropy() retrieves seeding material from the operating system.
The seeding material will have at least entropy bytes of randomness and
the output will have at least min_len and at most max_len bytes. The
buffer address is stored in *pout and the buffer length is returned to
the caller. On error, zero is returned.
cleanup_entropy() is used to clean up and free the buffer returned by
get_entropy(). The entropy pointer returned by get_entropy() is passed
in buf and its length in len.
get_nonce() retrieves a nonce using the passed salt parameter of length
salt_len and operating system specific information. The salt should
contain uniquely identifying information and this is included, in an
unspecified manner, as part of the output. The output is stored in a
buffer which contains at least min_len and at most max_len bytes. The
buffer address is stored in *pout and the buffer length returned to the
caller. On error, zero is returned.
cleanup_nonce() is used to clean up and free the buffer returned by
get_nonce(). The nonce pointer returned by get_nonce() is passed in
buf and its length in len.
provider_register_child_cb() registers callbacks for being informed
about the loading and unloading of providers in the application's
library context. handle is this provider's handle and cbdata is this
provider's data that will be passed back to the callbacks. It returns 1
on success or 0 otherwise. These callbacks may be called while holding
locks in libcrypto. In order to avoid deadlocks the callback
implementation must not be long running and must not call other OpenSSL
API functions or upcalls.
create_cb is a callback that will be called when a new provider is
loaded into the application's library context. It is also called for
any providers that are already loaded at the point that this callback
is registered. The callback is passed the handle being used for the new
provider being loadded and this provider's data in cbdata. It should
return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
remove_cb is a callback that will be called when a new provider is
unloaded from the application's library context. It is passed the
handle being used for the provider being unloaded and this provider's
data in cbdata. It should return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
global_props_cb is a callback that will be called when the global
properties from the parent library context are changed. It should
return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
provider_deregister_child_cb() unregisters callbacks previously
registered via provider_register_child_cb(). If
provider_register_child_cb() has been called then
provider_deregister_child_cb() should be called at or before the point
that this provider's teardown function is called.
provider_name() returns a string giving the name of the provider
identified by handle.
provider_get0_provider_ctx() returns the provider context that is
associated with the provider identified by prov.
provider_get0_dispatch() gets the dispatch table registered by the
provider identified by prov when it initialised.
provider_up_ref() increments the reference count on the provider prov.
If activate is nonzero then the provider is also loaded if it is not
already loaded. It returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
provider_free() decrements the reference count on the provider prov. If
deactivate is nonzero then the provider is also unloaded if it is not
already loaded. It returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
Provider functions
provider_teardown() is called when a provider is shut down and removed
from the core's provider store. It must free the passed provctx.
provider_gettable_params() should return a constant array of descriptor
OSSL_PARAM(3), for parameters that provider_get_params() can handle.
provider_get_params() should process the OSSL_PARAM(3) array params,
setting the values of the parameters it understands.
provider_query_operation() should return a constant OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)
that corresponds to the given operation_id. It should indicate if the
core may store a reference to this array by setting *no_store to 0
(core may store a reference) or 1 (core may not store a reference).
provider_unquery_operation() informs the provider that the result of a
provider_query_operation() is no longer directly required and that the
function pointers have been copied. The operation_id should match that
passed to provider_query_operation() and algs should be its return
value.
provider_get_reason_strings() should return a constant OSSL_ITEM(3)
array that provides reason strings for reason codes the provider may
use when reporting errors using core_put_error().
The provider_get_capabilities() function should call the callback cb
passing it a set of OSSL_PARAM(3)s and the caller supplied argument
arg. The OSSL_PARAM(3)s should provide details about the capability
with the name given in the capability argument relevant for the
provider context provctx. If a provider supports multiple capabilities
with the given name then it may call the callback multiple times (one
for each capability). Capabilities can be useful for describing the
services that a provider can offer. For further details see the
"CAPABILITIES" section below. It should return 1 on success or 0 on
error.
The provider_self_test() function should perform known answer tests on
a subset of the algorithms that it uses, and may also verify the
integrity of the provider module. It should return 1 on success or 0 on
error. It will return 1 if this function is not used.
None of these functions are mandatory, but a provider is fairly useless
without at least provider_query_operation(), and
provider_gettable_params() is fairly useless if not accompanied by
provider_get_params().
Provider parameters
provider_get_params() can return the following provider parameters to
the core:
"name" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_NAME) <UTF8 ptr>
This points to a string that should give a unique name for the
provider.
"version" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_VERSION) <UTF8 ptr>
This points to a string that is a version number associated with
this provider. OpenSSL in-built providers use OPENSSL_VERSION_STR,
but this may be different for any third party provider. This string
is for informational purposes only.
"buildinfo" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_BUILDINFO) <UTF8 ptr>
This points to a string that is a build information associated with
this provider. OpenSSL in-built providers use
OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR, but this may be different for any third
party provider.
"status" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_STATUS) <unsigned integer>
This returns 0 if the provider has entered an error state,
otherwise it returns 1.
provider_gettable_params() should return the above parameters.
Core parameters
core_get_params() can retrieve the following core parameters for each
provider:
"openssl-version" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_VERSION) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to the OpenSSL libraries' full version string, i.e. the
string expanded from the macro OPENSSL_VERSION_STR.
"provider-name" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_PROV_NAME) <UTF8 string ptr>
This points to the OpenSSL libraries' idea of what the calling
provider is named.
"module-filename" (OSSL_PROV_PARAM_CORE_MODULE_FILENAME) <UTF8 string
ptr>
This points to a string containing the full filename of the
providers module file.
Additionally, provider specific configuration parameters from the
config file are available, in dotted name form. The dotted name form
is a concatenation of section names and final config command name
separated by periods.
For example, let's say we have the following config example:
config_diagnostics = 1
openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
providers = providers_sect
[providers_sect]
foo = foo_sect
[foo_sect]
activate = 1
data1 = 2
data2 = str
more = foo_more
[foo_more]
data3 = foo,bar
The provider will have these additional parameters available:
"activate"
pointing at the string "1"
"data1"
pointing at the string "2"
"data2"
pointing at the string "str"
"more.data3"
pointing at the string "foo,bar"
For more information on handling parameters, see OSSL_PARAM(3) as
OSSL_PARAM_int(3).
CAPABILITIES
Capabilities describe some of the services that a provider can offer.
Applications can query the capabilities to discover those services.
"TLS-GROUP" Capability
The "TLS-GROUP" capability can be queried by libssl to discover the
list of TLS groups that a provider can support. Each group supported
can be used for key exchange (KEX) or key encapsulation method (KEM)
during a TLS handshake. TLS clients can advertise the list of TLS
groups they support in the supported_groups extension, and TLS servers
can select a group from the offered list that they also support. In
this way a provider can add to the list of groups that libssl already
supports with additional ones.
Each TLS group that a provider supports should be described via the
callback passed in through the provider_get_capabilities function. Each
group should have the following details supplied (all are mandatory,
except OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM):
"tls-group-name" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_NAME) <UTF8 string>
The name of the group as given in the IANA TLS Supported Groups
registry
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-8>.
"tls-group-name-internal" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_NAME_INTERNAL)
<UTF8 string>
The name of the group as known by the provider. This could be the
same as the "tls-group-name", but does not have to be.
"tls-group-id" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_ID) <unsigned integer>
The TLS group id value as given in the IANA TLS Supported Groups
registry.
"tls-group-alg" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_ALG) <UTF8 string>
The name of a Key Management algorithm that the provider offers and
that should be used with this group. Keys created should be able to
support key exchange or key encapsulation method (KEM), as implied
by the optional OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM flag. The
algorithm must support key and parameter generation as well as the
key/parameter generation parameter, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME. The
group name given via "tls-group-name-internal" above will be passed
via OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME when libssl wishes to generate
keys/parameters.
"tls-group-sec-bits" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_SECURITY_BITS)
<unsigned integer>
The number of bits of security offered by keys in this group. The
number of bits should be comparable with the ones given in table 2
and 3 of the NIST SP800-57 document.
"tls-group-is-kem" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_IS_KEM) <unsigned
integer>
Boolean flag to describe if the group should be used in key
exchange (KEX) mode (0, default) or in key encapsulation method
(KEM) mode (1).
This parameter is optional: if not specified, KEX mode is assumed
as the default mode for the group.
In KEX mode, in a typical Diffie-Hellman fashion, both sides
execute keygen then derive against the peer public key. To operate
in KEX mode, the group implementation must support the provider
functions as described in provider-keyexch(7).
In KEM mode, the client executes keygen and sends its public key,
the server executes encapsulate using the client's public key and
sends back the resulting ciphertext, finally the client executes
decapsulate to retrieve the same shared secret generated by the
server's encapsulate. To operate in KEM mode, the group
implementation must support the provider functions as described in
provider-kem(7).
Both in KEX and KEM mode, the resulting shared secret is then used
according to the protocol specification.
"tls-min-tls" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MIN_TLS) <integer>
"tls-max-tls" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MAX_TLS) <integer>
"tls-min-dtls" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MIN_DTLS) <integer>
"tls-max-dtls" (OSSL_CAPABILITY_TLS_GROUP_MAX_DTLS) <integer>
These parameters can be used to describe the minimum and maximum
TLS and DTLS versions supported by the group. The values equate to
the on-the-wire encoding of the various TLS versions. For example
TLSv1.3 is 0x0304 (772 decimal), and TLSv1.2 is 0x0303 (771
decimal). A 0 indicates that there is no defined minimum or
maximum. A -1 indicates that the group should not be used in that
protocol.
