gnutls_hpke_derive_keypair(3)

gnutls_hpke_derive_keypair3

Api function

Usage

#include <gnutls/hpke.h>

int gnutls_hpke_derive_keypair(gnutls_hpke_kem_t kem, const gnutls_datum_t * ikm, gnutls_privkey_t privkey, gnutls_pubkey_t pubkey);

Arguments

gnutls_hpke_kem_t kem

The KEM algorithm to use for key pair generation.

const gnutls_datum_t * ikm

A pointer to a gnutls_datum_t structure containing the input key material (IKM) to be used for key pair generation.

gnutls_privkey_t privkey

An initialized private key.

gnutls_pubkey_t pubkey

An initialized public key.

Overview

This function derives a key pair (private key and public key) for the specified KEM algorithm from the provided input key material ( ikm ).

ikm is used as a seed for the key generation process, allowing for deterministic key pair generation if the same IKM is used. The function checks that the provided parameters are valid and that the KEM algorithm is supported.

ikm should be a non-empty byte string that serves as the seed for key pair generation.

Returns

0 on success, or a negative error code on failure
