### Example: obtaining SSL object from X509_STORE_CTX to call SSL_set_retry_verify()

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/SSL_set_retry_verify

Shows how to get the SSL object from the X509_STORE_CTX using SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() and X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data(), then call SSL_set_retry_verify() when retry is needed. Includes a check for invalid index.

```c
int idx = SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx();
SSL *ssl;

/* this should not happen but check anyway */
if (idx < 0
    || (ssl = X509_STORE_CTX_get_ex_data(ctx, idx)) == NULL)
    return 0;

if (/* we need to retry verification callback */)
    return SSL_set_retry_verify(ssl);

/* do normal processing of the verification callback */

### DANE Authentication Setup and Verification Example

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/SSL_CTX_dane_enable

This example sets up DANE authentication for an SMTP client. It enables DANE on the SSL context and SSL object, adds TLSA records, and configures verification. It handles both usable and unusable TLSA records, and after the handshake, it checks verification results and prints DANE details. Note that the code contains placeholder comments for error handling and TLSA record iteration.

```c
SSL_CTX *ctx;
SSL *ssl;
int (*verify_cb)(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *sctx) = NULL;
int num_usable = 0;
const char *nexthop_domain = "example.com";
const char *dane_tlsa_domain = "smtp.example.com";
uint8_t usage, selector, mtype;

### verify_callback example with ex_data and depth limit

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/SSL_CTX_set_verify

A complete example of a custom verify_callback for a server that allows but does not require client certificates. It prints all verification errors, optionally prints certificate chain information, enforces a depth limit by setting the error to X509_V_ERR_CERT_CHAIN_TOO_LONG, and can always continue the handshake. It uses ex_data to store and retrieve application data (mydata_t) from the SSL structure. The example includes setup calls to SSL_get_ex_new_index, SSL_CTX_set_verify, SSL_CTX_set_verify_depth, SSL_set_ex_data, and SSL_accept.

This example demonstrates how to set up an OSSL_PARAM array for setting parameters on some object.

### Code
```c
#include <openssl/core.h>

const char *foo = "some string";
size_t foo_l = strlen(foo);
const char bar[] = "some other string";
OSSL_PARAM set[] = {
    { "foo", OSSL_PARAM_UTF8_PTR, &foo, foo_l, 0 },
    { "bar", OSSL_PARAM_UTF8_STRING, (void *)&bar, sizeof(bar) - 1, 0 },
    { NULL, 0, NULL, 0, 0 }
};
```

### BIO_f_md() digest chain with BIO_write() example

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/BIO_f_md

Creates a BIO chain with SHA1 and MD5 digest BIOs and writes "Hello World" through it. 'bio' is the start of the chain, 'mdtmp' can be discarded after pushing. Error checking omitted.

```c
BIO *bio, *mdtmp;
char message[] = "Hello World";

bio = BIO_new(BIO_s_null());
mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_sha1());
/*
 * For BIO_push() we want to append the sink BIO and keep a note of
 * the start of the chain.
 */
bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_md5());
zio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
/* Note: mdtmp can now be discarded */
BIO_write(bio, message, strlen(message));

### Send HTTP request with SSL_write_ex

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man7/ossl-guide-tls-client-block

Writes an HTTP GET request in three parts: start, hostname, and end. SSL_write_ex returns 1 on success and 0 on failure; on failure the code prints an error and jumps to the end label.

```c
size_t written;
const char *request_start = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: close\r\nHost: ";
const char *request_end = "\r\n\r\n";

/* Write an HTTP GET request to the peer */
if (!SSL_write_ex(ssl, request_start, strlen(request_start), &written)) {
    printf("Failed to write start of HTTP request\n");
    goto end;
}
if (!SSL_write_ex(ssl, hostname, strlen(hostname), &written)) {
    printf("Failed to write hostname in HTTP request\n");
    goto end;
}
if (!SSL_write_ex(ssl, request_end, strlen(request_end), &written)) {
    printf("Failed to write end of HTTP request\n");
    goto end;
}

```

### SSL/TLS Client Example using BIO_new_ssl_connect

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/BIO_f_ssl

Connects to an HTTPS server, sends a GET request, and prints the response. Uses BIO_new_ssl_connect, BIO_do_connect, and BIO_read. Requires seeding the PRNG and setting verify paths (marked with XXX comments).

```c
BIO *sbio, *out;
int len;
char tmpbuf[1024];
SSL_CTX *ctx;
SSL *ssl;

/* XXX Seed the PRNG if needed. */

ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_client_method());

/* XXX Set verify paths and mode here. */

sbio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx);
BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl);
if (ssl == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Can't locate SSL pointer\n");
    ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
    exit(1);
}

/* XXX We might want to do other things with ssl here */

/* An empty host part means the loopback address */
BIO_set_conn_hostname(sbio, ":https");

out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
if (BIO_do_connect(sbio) <= 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error connecting to server\n");
    ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
    exit(1);
}

/* XXX Could examine ssl here to get connection info */

BIO_puts(sbio, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
for (;;) {
    len = BIO_read(sbio, tmpbuf, 1024);
    if (len <= 0)
        break;
    BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len);
}
BIO_free_all(sbio);
BIO_free(out);

```

### Safely initialize and use a lock with CRYPTO_THREAD_run_once

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/CRYPTO_THREAD_run_once

This example shows how to safely initialize and use a CRYPTO_RWLOCK using CRYPTO_THREAD_run_once. It includes Windows header handling and demonstrates proper lock acquisition and release. Note that finalization of locks is not covered and the simplest solution is to leak the lock.

```c
#ifdef _WIN32
# include <windows.h>
#endif
#include <openssl/crypto.h>

static CRYPTO_ONCE once = CRYPTO_ONCE_STATIC_INIT;
static CRYPTO_RWLOCK *lock;

static void myinit(void)
{
    lock = CRYPTO_THREAD_lock_new();
}

static int mylock(void)
{
    if (!CRYPTO_THREAD_run_once(&once, void init) || lock == NULL)
        return 0;
    return CRYPTO_THREAD_write_lock(lock);
}

static int myunlock(void)
{
    return CRYPTO_THREAD_unlock(lock);
}

int serialized(void)
{
    int ret = 0;

    if (!mylock()) {
       /* Do not unlock unless the lock was successfully acquired. */
       return 0;
    }

    /* Your code here, do not return without releasing the lock! */
    ret = ... ;
    myunlock();
    return ret;
}

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man7/EVP_KDF-HKDF

Derives 10 bytes using the HKDF-SHA256 algorithm with secret key "secret", salt "salt", and info "label". Uses the same OSSL_PARAM setup as the generic HKDF example but without specifying a digest, since the algorithm already implies SHA-256. On failure, calls error("EVP_KDF_derive").

```c
EVP_KDF *kdf;
EVP_KDF_CTX *kctx;
unsigned char out[10];
OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;

kdf = EVP_KDF_fetch(NULL, "HKDF-SHA256", NULL);
kctx = EVP_KDF_CTX_new(kdf);
EVP_KDF_free(kdf);

*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_KEY,
                                         "secret", (size_t)6);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_INFO,
                                         "label", (size_t)5);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT,
                                         "salt", (size_t)4);
*p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
if (EVP_KDF_derive(kctx, out, sizeof(out), params) <= 0) {
    error("EVP_KDF_derive");
}

EVP_KDF_CTX_free(kctx);

Source: https://docs.openssl.org/master/man7/EVP_RAND-TEST-RAND

Complete example that fetches the TEST-RAND implementation, creates a context, sets strength, test entropy, and test nonce parameters, instantiates the generator, and generates bytes. The entropy and nonce arrays are initialized with placeholder data; the generate parameter defaults to zero, so output is limited to the supplied entropy and nonce.

```c
EVP_RAND *rand;
EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx;
unsigned char bytes[100];
OSSL_PARAM params[4], *p = params;
unsigned char entropy[1000] = { ... };
unsigned char nonce[20] = { ... };
unsigned int strength = 48;

rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "TEST-RAND", NULL);
rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
EVP_RAND_free(rand);

*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH, &strength);
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_ENTROPY,
                                         entropy, sizeof(entropy));
*p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_NONCE,
                                         nonce, sizeof(nonce));
*p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
