.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The key derivation functions generate a derived key from either a secret or
password.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP \fB\-help\fR 4
.IX Item "-help"
Print a usage message.
.IP "\fB\-keylen\fR \fInum\fR" 4
.IX Item "-keylen num"
The output size of the derived key. This field is required.
.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
Filename to output to, or standard output by default.
.IP \fB\-binary\fR 4
.IX Item "-binary"
Output the derived key in binary form. Uses hexadecimal text format if not specified.
.IP "\fB\-cipher\fR \fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cipher name"

Not all KDFs require a cipher and it is an error to use this option in such
cases.
.IP "\fB\-digest\fR \fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-digest name"
Specify the digest to be used by the KDF.
Not all KDFs require a digest and it is an error to use this option in such
cases.
To see the list of supported digests, use \f(CW\*(C`openssl list \-digest\-commands\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-mac\fR \fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mac name"
Specify the MAC to be used by the KDF.
Not all KDFs require a MAC and it is an error to use this option in such
cases.
.IP "\fB\-kdfopt\fR \fInm\fR:\fIv\fR" 4
.IX Item "-kdfopt nm:v"
Passes options to the KDF algorithm.
A comprehensive list of parameters can be found in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_KDF\fR\|(3).
Common parameter names used by \fBEVP_KDF_CTX_set_params()\fR are:
.RS 4
.IP \fBkey:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "key:string"
Specifies the secret key as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains
printable characters only).
The string length must conform to any restrictions of the KDF algorithm.
A key must be specified for most KDF algorithms.
.IP \fBhexkey:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "hexkey:string"
Alternative to the \fBkey:\fR option where
the secret key is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
.IP \fBpass:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "pass:string"
Specifies the password as an alphanumeric string (use if the password contains
printable characters only).
The password must be specified for PBKDF2 and scrypt.
.IP \fBhexpass:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "hexpass:string"
Alternative to the \fBpass:\fR option where
the password is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
.IP \fBsalt:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "salt:string"
Specifies a non-secret unique cryptographic salt as an alphanumeric string
(use if it contains printable characters only).
The length must conform to any restrictions of the KDF algorithm.
A salt parameter is required for several KDF algorithms,
such as \fBEVP_KDF\-PBKDF2\fR\|(7).
.IP \fBhexsalt:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "hexsalt:string"
Alternative to the \fBsalt:\fR option where
the salt is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
.IP \fBinfo:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "info:string"
Some KDF implementations, such as \fBEVP_KDF\-HKDF\fR\|(7), take an 'info' parameter
for binding the derived key material
to application\- and context-specific information.
Specifies the info, fixed info, other info or shared info argument
as an alphanumeric string (use if it contains printable characters only).
The length must conform to any restrictions of the KDF algorithm.
.IP \fBhexinfo:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "hexinfo:string"
Alternative to the \fBinfo:\fR option where
the info is specified in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
.IP \fBdigest:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "digest:string"
This option is identical to the \fB\-digest\fR option.
.IP \fBcipher:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "cipher:string"
This option is identical to the \fB\-cipher\fR option.
.IP \fBmac:\fR\fIstring\fR 4
.IX Item "mac:string"
This option is identical to the \fB\-mac\fR option.

.IX Item "kdf_name"
Specifies the name of a supported KDF algorithm which will be used.
The supported algorithms names include TLS1\-PRF, HKDF, SSKDF, PBKDF2,
SSHKDF, X942KDF\-ASN1, X942KDF\-CONCAT, X963KDF and SCRYPT.
