EVP_KDF-PBKDF2 - The PBKDF2 EVP_KDF implementation
Support for computing the PBKDF2 password-based KDF through the EVP_KDF API.
The EVP_KDF-PBKDF2 algorithm implements the PBKDF2 password-based key derivation function, as described in SP800-132; it derives a key from a password using a salt and iteration count.
"PBKDF2" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
The supported parameters are:
This parameter has a default value of 2048.
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
This parameter can be used to enable or disable SP800-132 compliance checks. Setting the mode to 0 enables the compliance checks.
The checks performed are:
The default provider uses a default mode of 1 for backwards compatibility, and the FIPS provider uses a default mode of 0.
The value string is expected to be a decimal number 0 or 1.
A typical application of this algorithm is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the "pass", a salt in "salt", and an iteration count.
Increasing the "iter" parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number of candidate passwords.
No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply treated as a byte sequence.
