PSA_KEY_TYPE_DSA_PUBLIC_KEY
DSA public key.
The import and export format is the representation of the public key
y = g^x mod p
as a big-endian byte string. The length of the byte string is the length of the base primep
in bytes.
-
PSA_KEY_TYPE_DSA_KEY_PAIR
DSA key pair (private and public key).
The import and export format is the representation of the private key
x
as a big-endian byte string. The length of the byte string is the private key size in bytes (leading zeroes are not stripped).Deterministic DSA key derivation with psa_generate_derived_key follows FIPS 186-4 B.1.2: interpret the byte string as integer in big-endian order. Discard it if it is not in the range [0, N - 2] where N is the boundary of the private key domain (the prime p for Diffie-Hellman, the subprime q for DSA, or the order of the curve’s base point for ECC). Add 1 to the resulting integer and use this as the private key x.

This is J-PAKE as defined by RFC 8236, instantiated with the following parameters:
The group can be either an elliptic curve or defined over a finite field.
Schnorr NIZK proof as defined by RFC 8235 and using the same group as the J-PAKE algorithm.
A cryptographic hash function.
To select these parameters and set up the cipher suite, call these functions in any order:
psa_pake_cs_set_algorithm(cipher_suite, PSA_ALG_JPAKE); psa_pake_cs_set_primitive(cipher_suite, PSA_PAKE_PRIMITIVE(type, family, bits)); psa_pake_cs_set_hash(cipher_suite, hash);
For more information on how to set a specific curve or field, refer to the documentation of the individual
PSA_PAKE_PRIMITIVE_TYPE_XXX
constants.After initializing a J-PAKE operation, call
psa_pake_setup(operation, cipher_suite); psa_pake_set_user(operation, ...); psa_pake_set_peer(operation, ...); psa_pake_set_password_key(operation, ...);
The password is provided as a key. This can be the password text itself, in an agreed character encoding, or some value derived from the password as required by a higher level protocol.
(The implementation converts the key material to a number as described in Section 2.3.8 of SEC 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (https://www.secg.org/sec1-v2.pdf), before reducing it modulo
q
. Hereq
is order of the group defined by the primitive set in the cipher suite. Thepsa_pake_set_password_key()
function returns an error if the result of the reduction is 0.)The key exchange flow for J-PAKE is as follows:
To get the first round data that needs to be sent to the peer, call
// Get g1 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Get the ZKP public key for x1 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Get the ZKP proof for x1 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...); // Get g2 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Get the ZKP public key for x2 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Get the ZKP proof for x2 psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...);
To provide the first round data received from the peer to the operation, call
// Set g3 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Set the ZKP public key for x3 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Set the ZKP proof for x3 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...); // Set g4 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Set the ZKP public key for x4 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Set the ZKP proof for x4 psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...);
To get the second round data that needs to be sent to the peer, call
// Get A psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Get ZKP public key for x2*s psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Get ZKP proof for x2*s psa_pake_output(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...);
To provide the second round data received from the peer to the operation, call
// Set B psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_KEY_SHARE, ...); // Set ZKP public key for x4*s psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PUBLIC, ...); // Set ZKP proof for x4*s psa_pake_input(operation, #PSA_PAKE_STEP_ZK_PROOF, ...);
To access the shared secret call
// Get Ka=Kb=K psa_pake_get_implicit_key()
For more information consult the documentation of the individual
PSA_PAKE_STEP_XXX
constants.At this point there is a cryptographic guarantee that only the authenticated party who used the same password is able to compute the key. But there is no guarantee that the peer is the party it claims to be and was able to do so.
That is, the authentication is only implicit (the peer is not authenticated at this point, and no action should be taken that assume that they are - like for example accessing restricted files).
To make the authentication explicit there are various methods, see Section 5 of RFC 8236 for two examples.

is the HMAC algorithm or the underlying hash algorithm.
-
PSA_KEY_TYPE_DERIVE
A secret for key derivation.
This key type is for high-entropy secrets only. For low-entropy secrets, PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD should be used instead.

-
PSA_KEY_TYPE_PASSWORD

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.

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.

- Parameters:
mac_alg – A MAC algorithm identifier (value of type psa_algorithm_t such that PSA_ALG_IS_MAC(
mac_alg
) is true). This may be a truncated or untruncated MAC algorithm.mac_length – Desired length of the truncated MAC in bytes. This must be at most the full length of the MAC and must be at least an implementation-specified minimum. The implementation-specified minimum shall not be zero.

PSA_ALG_PURE_EDDSA
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_ED25519PH
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
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(alg)
-
PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN_HASH(alg)
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)
- Parameters:
alg – An algorithm identifier (value of type psa_algorithm_t).
- 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(alg)

- Parameters:
alg – An algorithm identifier (value of type psa_algorithm_t).
- 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 ifalg
is not a signature algorithm. This macro can return either 0 or 1 ifalg
is not a supported algorithm identifier.
-
PSA_ALG_IS_HASH_AND_SIGN(alg)
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 topsa_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().
- Parameters:
alg – An algorithm identifier (value of type psa_algorithm_t).
- Returns:
1 if
alg
is a hash-and-sign algorithm, 0 otherwise. This macro may return either 0 or 1 ifalg
is not a supported algorithm identifier.
-
PSA_ALG_SIGN_GET_HASH(alg)

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.
- Parameters:
alg – A signature algorithm (
PSA_ALG_XXX
value such that PSA_ALG_IS_SIGN(alg
) is true).
- Returns:
The underlying hash algorithm if
alg
is a hash-and-sign algorithm.- Returns:

alg
is a signature algorithm that does not follow the hash-and-sign structure.- Returns:
Unspecified if
alg
is not a signature algorithm or if it is not supported by the implementation.

PSA_ALG_HKDF_BASE
-
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.
Warning
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_SALT is the salt.
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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_SEED is the seed.
PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET is the secret key.
PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_LABEL is the label.

For example,
PSA_ALG_TLS12_PRF(PSA_ALG_SHA_256)
represents the TLS 1.2 PRF using HMAC-SHA-256.- Parameters:

PSA_ALG_TLS12_PSK_TO_MS_BASE
-
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 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.- Parameters:

Typedefs
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
.The group identifier is required to create a Diffie-Hellman key using the PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_KEY_PAIR() or PSA_KEY_TYPE_DH_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.

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.
-
typedef uint32_t psa_algorithm_t
Encoding of a cryptographic algorithm.
Values of this type are generally constructed by macros called
