public class KDFCounterBytesGenerator extends Object implements MacDerivationFunction
This KDF has been defined by the publicly available NIST SP 800-108 specification. NIST SP800-108 allows for alternative orderings of the input fields, meaning that the input can be formated in multiple ways. There are 3 supported formats: - Below [i]_2 is a counter of r-bits length concatenated to the fixedInputData.
  • 1: K(i) := PRF( KI, [i]_2 || Label || 0x00 || Context || [L]_2 ) with the counter at the very beginning of the fixedInputData (The default implementation has this format)
  • 2: K(i) := PRF( KI, Label || 0x00 || Context || [L]_2 || [i]_2 ) with the counter at the very end of the fixedInputData
  • 3a: K(i) := PRF( KI, Label || 0x00 || [i]_2 || Context || [L]_2 ) OR:
  • 3b: K(i) := PRF( KI, Label || 0x00 || [i]_2 || [L]_2 || Context ) OR:
  • 3c: K(i) := PRF( KI, Label || [i]_2 || 0x00 || Context || [L]_2 ) etc... with the counter somewhere in the 'middle' of the fixedInputData.
This function must be called with the following KDFCounterParameters():
  • KI
  • The part of the fixedInputData that comes BEFORE the counter OR null
  • the part of the fixedInputData that comes AFTER the counter OR null
  • the length of the counter in bits (not bytes)
Resulting function calls assuming an 8 bit counter.
  • 1. KDFCounterParameters(ki, null, "Label || 0x00 || Context || [L]_2]", 8);
  • 2. KDFCounterParameters(ki, "Label || 0x00 || Context || [L]_2]", null, 8);
  • 3a. KDFCounterParameters(ki, "Label || 0x00", "Context || [L]_2]", 8);
  • 3b. KDFCounterParameters(ki, "Label || 0x00", "[L]_2] || Context", 8);
  • 3c. KDFCounterParameters(ki, "Label", "0x00 || Context || [L]_2]", 8);
