NAME

6       kcapi_pbkdf_iteration_count - Calculate numbers of iterations for a
7       PBKDF
8

SYNOPSIS

10       uint32_t kcapi_pbkdf_iteration_count(const char * hashname,
11                                            uint64_t timeshresh);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       hashname
15           [in] kernel crypto API name of a keyed hash (e.g. hmac(sha1))
16
17       timeshresh
18           [in] Time duration in nanoseconds that the PBKDF operation shall at
19           least require. If that value is 0, a default of (1<<27) nanoseconds
20           is used.
21

DESCRIPTION

23       The function measures the time the PBKDF operation takes for different
24       round counts for the given keyed message digest type.
25
26       The result should be taken as the iteration count for a PBKDF
27       operation.
28
29       If an error occurs with the PBKDF calculation, a value of 1<<18 is
30       returned.
31
32       return number of iterations a PBKDF should take on this computer.
