EVP_KDF-PVKKDF - The PVK EVP_KDF implementation
Support for computing the PVK KDF PIN-based KDF through the EVP_KDF API.
The EVP_KDF-PVKKDF algorithm implements a PVK PIN-based key derivation function; it derives a key from a password using a salt.
"PVKKDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
The supported parameters are:
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
A typical application of this algorithm is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the "pass" and a salt in "salt".
No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply treated as a byte sequence.
The legacy provider needs to be available in order to access this algorithm.
EVP_KDF(3), EVP_KDF_CTX_new(3), EVP_KDF_CTX_free(3), EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params(3), EVP_KDF_derive(3), "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3), OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy(7)
