6 Package pbkdf2 implements the key derivation function PBKDF2 as defined in RFC
9 A key derivation function is useful when encrypting data based on a password
10 or any other not-fully-random data. It uses a pseudorandom function to derive
11 a secure encryption key based on the password.
13 While v2.0 of the standard defines only one pseudorandom function to use,
14 HMAC-SHA1, the drafted v2.1 specification allows use of all five FIPS Approved
15 Hash Functions SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 for HMAC. To
16 choose, you can pass the `New` functions from the different SHA packages to
19 package pbkdf2 // import "golang.org/x/crypto/pbkdf2"
26 // Key derives a key from the password, salt and iteration count, returning a
27 // []byte of length keylen that can be used as cryptographic key. The key is
28 // derived based on the method described as PBKDF2 with the HMAC variant using
29 // the supplied hash function.
31 // For example, to use a HMAC-SHA-1 based PBKDF2 key derivation function, you
32 // can get a derived key for e.g. AES-256 (which needs a 32-byte key) by
35 // dk := pbkdf2.Key([]byte("some password"), salt, 4096, 32, sha1.New)
37 // Remember to get a good random salt. At least 8 bytes is recommended by the
40 // Using a higher iteration count will increase the cost of an exhaustive
41 // search but will also make derivation proportionally slower.
