NAME

6       EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF - The PKCS#12 EVP_KDF implementation
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Support for computing the PKCS#12 password-based KDF through the
10       EVP_KDF API.
11
12       The EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF algorithm implements the PKCS#12 password-based
13       key derivation function, as described in appendix B of RFC 7292 (PKCS
14       #12: Personal Information Exchange Syntax); it derives a key from a
15       password using a salt, iteration count and the intended usage.
16
17   Identity
18       "PKCS12KDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with
19       the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
20
21   Supported parameters
22       The supported parameters are:
23
24       "pass" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet string>
25       "salt" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>
26       "iter" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned integer>
27       "properties" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
28       "digest" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
29           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).
30
31       "id" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS12_ID) <integer>
32           This parameter is used to specify the intended usage of the output
33           bits, as per RFC 7292 section B.3.
34

NOTES

36       A typical application of this algorithm is to derive keying material
37       for an encryption algorithm from a password in the "pass", a salt in
38       "salt", and an iteration count.
39
40       Increasing the "iter" parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
41       harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large
42       number of candidate passwords.
43
44       No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply
45       treated as a byte sequence.
