SYNOPSIS

9       int32_t kcapi_pbkdf(const char * hashname, const uint8_t * pw,
10                           uint32_t pwlen, const uint8_t * salt,
11                           uint32_t saltlen, uint32_t count, uint8_t * key,
12                           uint32_t keylen);
13

ARGUMENTS

16           [in] kernel crypto API name of a keyed hash (e.g. hmac(sha1))
17
18       pw
19           [in] Password a key shall be derived from
20
21       pwlen
22           [in] Length of password string
23
24       salt
25           [in] Salt as defined in SP800-132
26
27       saltlen
28           [in] Length of salt buffer
29
30       count
31           [in] Numbers of iterations to be performed for the PBKDF
32
33       key
34           [out] Buffer to store the generated key in
35
36       keylen
37           [in] Size of the key to be generated (i.e. length of the key
38           buffer)

DESCRIPTION

41       This function is an implementation of the PBKDF as defined in
42       SP800-132.
43
44       return 0 upon success; a negative errno-style error code if an error
45       occurred
