Key derivation is the process of generating new key material using an existing key and additional parameters, iterating through a basic cryptographic function, such as a hash.
Key agreement is a part of cryptographic protocols that allows two parties to agree on the same key value, but starting from different original key material. The flows are similar, and the PSA Crypto Driver Model uses the same functions for both of the flows.
There are two different final functions for the flows, psa_drv_se_key_derivation_derive and psa_drv_se_key_derivation_export. psa_drv_se_key_derivation_derive is used when the key material should be placed in a slot on the hardware and not exposed to the caller. psa_drv_se_key_derivation_export is used when the key material should be returned to the PSA Cryptographic API implementation.
Different key derivation algorithms require a different number of inputs. Instead of having an API that takes as input variable length arrays, which can be problemmatic to manage on embedded platforms, the inputs are passed to the driver via a function, psa_drv_se_key_derivation_collateral, that is called multiple times with different collateral_ids. Thus, for a key derivation algorithm that required 3 paramter inputs, the flow would look something like:
key agreement example:
| typedef psa_status_t(* psa_drv_se_key_derivation_setup_t) (psa_drv_se_context_t *drv_context, void *op_context, psa_algorithm_t kdf_alg, psa_key_slot_number_t source_key) |
A function that Sets up a secure element key derivation operation by specifying the algorithm and the source key sot.
| [in,out] | drv_context | The driver context structure. |
| [in,out] | op_context | A hardware-specific structure containing any context information for the implementation |
| [in] | kdf_alg | The algorithm to be used for the key derivation |
| [in] | source_key | The key to be used as the source material for the key derivation |

| typedef psa_status_t(* psa_drv_se_key_derivation_collateral_t) (void *op_context, uint32_t collateral_id, const uint8_t *p_collateral, size_t collateral_size) |
A function that provides collateral (parameters) needed for a secure element key derivation or key agreement operation.
Since many key derivation algorithms require multiple parameters, it is expeced that this function may be called multiple times for the same operation, each with a different algorithm-specific collateral_id
| [in,out] | op_context | A hardware-specific structure containing any context information for the implementation |
| [in] | collateral_id | An ID for the collateral being provided |
| [in] | p_collateral | A buffer containing the collateral data |
| [in] | collateral_size | The size in bytes of the collateral |

| typedef psa_status_t(* psa_drv_se_key_derivation_derive_t) (void *op_context, psa_key_slot_number_t dest_key) |
A function that performs the final secure element key derivation step and place the generated key material in a slot.
| [in,out] | op_context | A hardware-specific structure containing any context information for the implementation |
| [in] | dest_key | The slot where the generated key material should be placed |

| [out] | p_output | Buffer in which to place the generated key material |
