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:
- "pass" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet
string>
- "salt" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet
string>
- "iter" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned
integer>
- This parameter has a default value of 2048.
- "properties" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES)
<UTF8 string>
- "digest" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8
string>
- These parameters work as described in
"PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
- "pkcs5" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS5)
<integer>
- 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 iteration count is at least 1000.
- - the salt length is at least 128 bits.
- - the derived key length is at least 112 bits.
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.
