NAME

Crypt::KeyDerivation - PBKDF1, PBKDF2 and HKDF key derivation functions


SYNOPSIS

  use Crypt::KeyDerivation ':all';
  ### PBKDF1/2
  $derived_key1 = pbkdf1($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  $derived_key2 = pbkdf2($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  ### HKDF & co.
  $derived_key3 = hkdf($keying_material, $salt, $hash_name, $len, $info);
  $prk  = hkdf_extract($keying_material, $salt, $hash_name);
  $okm1 = hkdf_expand($prk, $hash_name, $len, $info);


DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to Key derivation functions:


FUNCTIONS

pbkdf1

BEWARE: if you are not sure, do not use pbkdf1 but rather choose pbkdf2.

  $derived_key = pbkdf1($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf1($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf1($password, $salt, $iteration_count);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf1($password, $salt);
  # $password ......... input keying material  (password)
  # $salt ............. salt/nonce (expected length: 8)
  # $iteration_count .. optional, DEFAULT: 5000
  # $hash_name ........ optional, DEFAULT: 'SHA256'
  # $len .............. optional, derived key len, DEFAULT: 32

pbkdf2

  $derived_key = pbkdf2($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf2($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf2($password, $salt, $iteration_count);
  #or
  $derived_key = pbkdf2($password, $salt);
  # $password ......... input keying material (password)
  # $salt ............. salt/nonce
  # $iteration_count .. optional, DEFAULT: 5000
  # $hash_name ........ optional, DEFAULT: 'SHA256'
  # $len .............. optional, derived key len, DEFAULT: 32

hkdf

  $okm2 = hkdf($password, $salt, $hash_name, $len, $info);
  #or
  $okm2 = hkdf($password, $salt, $hash_name, $len);
  #or
  $okm2 = hkdf($password, $salt, $hash_name);
  #or
  $okm2 = hkdf($password, $salt);
  # $password ... input keying material (password)
  # $salt ....... salt/nonce, if undef defaults to HashLen zero octets
  # $hash_name .. optional, DEFAULT: 'SHA256'
  # $len ........ optional, derived key len, DEFAULT: 32
  # $info ....... optional context and application specific information, DEFAULT: ''

hkdf_extract

  $prk  = hkdf_extract($password, $salt, $hash_name);
  #or
  $prk  = hkdf_extract($password, $salt, $hash_name);
  # $password ... input keying material (password)
  # $salt ....... salt/nonce, if undef defaults to HashLen zero octets
  # $hash_name .. optional, DEFAULT: 'SHA256'

hkdf_expand

  $okm = hkdf_expand($pseudokey, $hash_name, $len, $info);
  #or
  $okm = hkdf_expand($pseudokey, $hash_name, $len);
  #or
  $okm = hkdf_expand($pseudokey, $hash_name);
  #or
  $okm = hkdf_expand($pseudokey);
  # $pseudokey .. input keying material
  # $hash_name .. optional, DEFAULT: 'SHA256'
  # $len ........ optional, derived key len, DEFAULT: 32
  # $info ....... optional context and application specific information, DEFAULT: ''
