.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBPKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC()\fR derives a key from a password using a salt and iteration count
as specified in RFC 2898.
.PP
\&\fBpass\fR is the password used in the derivation of length \fBpasslen\fR. \fBpass\fR
is an optional parameter and can be NULL. If \fBpasslen\fR is \-1, then the
function will calculate the length of \fBpass\fR using \fBstrlen()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBsalt\fR is the salt used in the derivation of length \fBsaltlen\fR. If the
\&\fBsalt\fR is NULL, then \fBsaltlen\fR must be 0. The function will not
attempt to calculate the length of the \fBsalt\fR because it is not assumed to
be NULL terminated.
.PP
\&\fBiter\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
\&\fBiter\fR value less than 1 is invalid; such values will result in failure
and raise the PROV_R_INVALID_ITERATION_COUNT error.
.PP
\&\fBdigest\fR is the message digest function used in the derivation.
\&\fBPKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1()\fR calls \fBPKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC()\fR with \fBEVP_sha1()\fR.
.PP
The derived key will be written to \fBout\fR. The size of the \fBout\fR buffer
is specified via \fBkeylen\fR.
.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 \fBpass\fR, a salt in \fBsalt\fR,
and an iteration count.
.PP
Increasing the \fBiter\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.
.PP
These functions make no assumption regarding the given password.
It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBPKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC()\fR and \fBPBKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1()\fR return 1 on success or 0 on error.
