The ID byte \fIid\fR determines how the resulting key is intended to be used: .IP \(bu 4 If ID=1, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as key material for performing encryption or decryption. .IP \(bu 4 If ID=2, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as an IV (Initial Value) for encryption or decryption. .IP \(bu 4 If ID=3, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as an integrity key for MACing. .PP The intended format of the supplied password is determined by the method chosen: .IP \(bu 4 \&\fBPKCS12_key_gen_asc()\fR and \fBPKCS12_key_gen_asc_ex()\fR expect an ASCII-formatted password. .IP \(bu 4 \&\fBPKCS12_key_gen_uni()\fR and \fBPKCS12_key_gen_uni_ex()\fR expect a Unicode-formatted password. .IP \(bu 4 \&\fBPKCS12_key_gen_utf8()\fR and \fBPKCS12_key_gen_utf8_ex()\fR expect a UTF\-8 encoded password. .PP \&\fIpass\fR is the password used in the derivation of length \fIpasslen\fR. \fIpass\fR is an optional parameter and can be NULL. If \fIpasslen\fR is \-1, then the function will calculate the length of \fIpass\fR using \fBstrlen()\fR. .PP \&\fIsalt\fR is the salt used in the derivation of length \fIsaltlen\fR. If the \&\fIsalt\fR is NULL, then \fIsaltlen\fR must be 0. The function will not attempt to calculate the length of the \fIsalt\fR because it is not assumed to be NULL terminated. .PP \&\fIiter\fR is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or equal to 1. RFC 2898 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any \&\fIiter\fR less than 1 is treated as a single iteration. .PP \&\fIdigest\fR is the message digest function used in the derivation. .PP The derived key will be written to \fIout\fR. The size of the \fIout\fR buffer is specified via \fIn\fR. .PP Functions ending in \fB_ex()\fR allow for a library context \fIctx\fR and property query \&\fIpropq\fR to be used to select algorithm implementations. .SH NOTES .IX Header "NOTES" A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the \fIpass\fR, a salt in \fIsalt\fR, and an iteration count. .PP Increasing the \fIiter\fR 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. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" Returns 1 on success or 0 on error. .SH "CONFORMING TO" .IX Header "CONFORMING TO" IETF RFC 7292 () .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBPKCS12_create_ex\fR\|(3), \&\fBPKCS12_pbe_crypt_ex\fR\|(3), \&\fBpassphrase\-encoding\fR\|(7) .SH HISTORY .IX Header "HISTORY" \&\fBPKCS12_key_gen_asc_ex()\fR, \fBPKCS12_key_gen_uni_ex()\fR and \fBPKCS12_key_gen_utf8_ex()\fR were added in OpenSSL 3.0. .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
