Implementation Guidance for FIPS 140-3 and the Cryptographic Module
Verification Program, Section C.H requires guarantees about the
uniqueness of key/iv pairs, and proposes a few approaches to ensure
this. Provide an indicator for option 2 "The IV may be generated
internally at its entirety randomly."

FIPS requires a number of restrictions on the parameters of the various
key derivation functions implemented in OpenSSL. The KDFs that use
digest algorithms usually should not allow SHAKE (due to FIPS 140-3 IG
C.C). Additionally, some application-specific KDFs have further
restrictions defined in SP 800-135r1.
Generally, all KDFs shall use a key-derivation key length of at least
112 bits due to SP 800-131Ar2 section 8. Additionally any use of a KDF
to generate and output length of less than 112 bits will also set the
indicator to unapproved.
Add explicit indicators to all KDFs usable in FIPS mode except for
PBKDF2 (which has its specific FIPS limits already implemented). The
indicator can be queried using EVP_KDF_CTX_get_params() after setting
the required parameters and keys for the KDF.
Our FIPS provider implements SHA1, SHA2 (both -256 and -512, and the
truncated variants -224 and -384) and SHA3 (-256 and -512, and the
truncated versions -224 and -384), as well as SHAKE-128 and -256.
The SHAKE functions are generally not allowed in KDFs. For the rest, the
support matrix is:
KDF | SHA-1 | SHA-2 | SHA-2 truncated | SHA-3 | SHA-3 truncated
==========================================================================
KBKDF | x | x | x | x | x
HKDF | x | x | x | x | x

The previous state of the patch did not work correctly when used with
negative salt lengths, which OpenSSL uses a magic values. Setting the
saltlength to max would yield an approved state in the indicator, while
it is not approved.
Additionally, update the patch to change the default PSS salt length
with the current state of discussion upstream (see
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/19724).

FIPS 186-4 section 5 "The RSA Digital Signature Algorithm", subsection
5.5 "PKCS #1" says: "For RSASSA-PSS […] the length (in bytes) of the
salt (sLen) shall satisfy 0 ≤ sLen ≤ hLen, where hLen is the length of
the hash function output block (in bytes)."
It is not exactly clear from this text whether hLen refers to the
message digest or the hash function used for the mask generation
function MGF1. PKCS#1 v2.1 suggests it is the former:
| Typical salt lengths in octets are hLen (the length of the output of
| the hash function Hash) and 0. In both cases the security of
| RSASSA-PSS can be closely related to the hardness of inverting RSAVP1.
| Bellare and Rogaway [4] give a tight lower bound for the security of
| the original RSA-PSS scheme, which corresponds roughly to the former
| case, while Coron [12] gives a lower bound for the related Full Domain
| Hashing scheme, which corresponds roughly to the latter case. In [13]
| Coron provides a general treatment with various salt lengths ranging
| from 0 to hLen; see [27] for discussion. See also [31], which adapts
| the security proofs in [4][13] to address the differences between the
| original and the present version of RSA-PSS as listed in Note 1 above.
Since OpenSSL defaults to creating signatures with the maximum salt
length, blocking the use of longer salts would probably lead to
significant problems in practice. Instead, introduce an explicit
indicator that can be obtained from the EVP_PKEY_CTX object using
EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params() with the
OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_REDHAT_FIPS_INDICATOR
parameter.
Change the default automatic behavior when signing to use at most the
digest size as salt length.

The Implementation Guidance for FIPS 140-3 says in section D.N
"Password-Based Key Derivation for Storage Applications" that "the
vendor shall document in the module’s Security Policy the length of
a password/passphrase used in key derivation and establish an upper
bound for the probability of having this parameter guessed at random.
This probability shall take into account not only the length of the
password/passphrase, but also the difficulty of guessing it. The
decision on the minimum length of a password used for key derivation is
the vendor’s, but the vendor shall at a minimum informally justify the
decision."
We are choosing a minimum password length of 8 bytes, because NIST's
ACVP testing uses passwords as short as 8 bytes, and requiring longer
passwords combined with an implicit indicator (i.e., returning an error)
would cause the module to fail ACVP testing.

NIST SP 800-131Ar2, table 9 "Approval Status of MAC Algorithms"
specifies key lengths < 112 bytes are disallowed for HMAC generation and
are legacy use for HMAC verification.
Add an explicit indicator that will mark shorter key lengths as
unsupported. The indicator can be queries from the EVP_MAC_CTX object
using EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params() with the
OSSL_MAC_PARAM_REDHAT_FIPS_INDICATOR
parameter.

NIST SP 800-131Ar2, section 8 "Deriving Additional Keys from
a Cryptographic Key" says that for KDFs defined in SP 800-108, "[t]he
length of the key-derivation key shall be at least 112 bits". It further
specifies that HMAC-based KDFs "with a key whose length is at least 112
bits" are acceptable.
Add an explicit indicator for SP 800-108 KDFs that will mark shorter key
lengths as unapproved. The indicator can be queried from the EVP_KDF_CTX
object using EVP_KDF_CTX_get_params() with the
OSSL_KDF_PARAM_REDHAT_FIPS_INDICATOR
parameter.
This also modifies the previously applied HKDF indicator patch to use
the same interface to query its FIPS indicator. This provides better
consistency across the various KDFs with explicit indicators.
Additionally, the new constants are clearly marked as being specific to
Red Hat.

The current draft of FIPS 186-5 [1] no longer contains specifications
for X9.31 signature padding. Instead, it contains the following
information in Appendix E:
> ANSI X9.31 was withdrawn, so X9.31 RSA signatures were removed from
> this standard.
Since this situation is unlikely to change in future revisions of the
draft, and future FIPS 140-3 validations of the provider will require
X9.31 to be disabled or marked as not approved with an explicit
indicator, disallow this padding mode now.
Remove the X9.31 tests from the acvp test, since they will always fail
now.

Use RSA-OAEP in FIPS self-tests and support a fixed OAEP seed to make
the test deterministic as required for a known-answer test.
Switch the signature FIPS self-test to use the digest_sign and
digest_verify provider functions using the EVP_DigestSign and
EVP_DigestVerify APIs, as the existing signature self-test does not
cover hash computation.
Switch the existing Diffie-Hellman FIPS self-test to use FFDHE2048,
a known safe prime from RFC 7919.
