=head1 NAME

EVP_KEYEXCH-ECDH - ECDH Key Exchange algorithm support

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Key exchange support for the B<ECDH> key type.

=head2 ECDH Key Exchange parameters

=over 4

=item "ecdh-cofactor-mode" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_EC_ECDH_COFACTOR_MODE>) <integer>

Sets or gets the ECDH mode of operation for the associated key exchange ctx.

In the context of an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange, this parameter
can be used to select between the plain Diffie-Hellman (DH) or Cofactor
Diffie-Hellman (CDH) variants of the key exchange algorithm.

When setting, the value should be 1, 0 or -1, respectively forcing cofactor mode
on, off, or resetting it to the default for the private key associated with the
given key exchange ctx.

When getting, the value should be either 1 or 0, respectively signaling if the
cofactor mode is on or off.

See also L<provider-keymgmt(7)> for the related
B<OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_USE_COFACTOR_ECDH> parameter that can be set on a
per-key basis.

=item "kdf-type" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_TYPE>) <UTF8 string>

See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=item "kdf-digest" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=item "kdf-digest-props" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST_PROPS>) <UTF8 string>

See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=item "kdf-outlen" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_OUTLEN>) <unsigned integer>

See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=item "kdf-ukm" (B<OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM>) <octet string>

See L<provider-keyexch(7)/Common Key Exchange parameters>.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Examples of key agreement can be found in demos/keyexch.

Keys for the host and peer must be generated as shown in
L<EVP_PKEY-EC(7)/Examples> using the same curve name.

The code to generate a shared secret for the normal case is identical to
L<EVP_KEYEXCH-DH(7)/Examples>.

To derive a shared secret on the host using the host's key and the peer's public
key but also using X963KDF with a user key material:

    /* It is assumed that the host_key, peer_pub_key and ukm are set up */
    void derive_secret(EVP_PKEY *host_key, EVP_PKEY *peer_key,
                       unsigned char *ukm, size_t ukm_len)
    {
        unsigned char secret[64];
        size_t out_len = sizeof(secret);
        size_t secret_len = out_len;
        unsigned int pad = 1;
        OSSL_PARAM params[6];
        EVP_PKEY_CTX *dctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, host_key, NULL);

        EVP_PKEY_derive_init(dctx);

        params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD, &pad);
        params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_TYPE,
                                                     "X963KDF", 0);
        params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_DIGEST,
                                                     "SHA1", 0);
        params[3] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_size_t(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_OUTLEN,
                                                &out_len);
        params[4] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_KDF_UKM,
                                                      ukm, ukm_len);
        params[5] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(dctx, params);

        EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(dctx, peer_pub_key);
        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, secret, &secret_len);
        ...
        OPENSSL_clear_free(secret, secret_len);
        EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(dctx);
    }
