17  * HKDF supports any unkeyed cryptographic hash algorithm, but fscrypt uses
18  * SHA-512 because it is well-established, secure, and reasonably efficient.
19  *
20  * HKDF-SHA256 was also considered, as its 256-bit security strength would be
21  * sufficient here.  A 512-bit security strength is "nice to have", though.
22  * Also, on 64-bit CPUs, SHA-512 is usually just as fast as SHA-256.  In the
23  * common case of deriving an AES-256-XTS key (512 bits), that can result in
24  * HKDF-SHA512 being much faster than HKDF-SHA256, as the longer digest size of
25  * SHA-512 causes HKDF-Expand to only need to do one iteration rather than two.

30  * HKDF consists of two steps:
31  *
32  * 1. HKDF-Extract: extract a pseudorandom key of length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes from
33  *    the input keying material and optional salt.
34  * 2. HKDF-Expand: expand the pseudorandom key into output keying material of
35  *    any length, parameterized by an application-specific info string.
36  *
37  * HKDF-Extract can be skipped if the input is already a pseudorandom key of
38  * length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes.  However, cipher modes other than AES-256-XTS take
39  * shorter keys, and we don't want to force users of those modes to provide
40  * unnecessarily long master keys.  Thus fscrypt still does HKDF-Extract.  No
41  * salt is used, since fscrypt master keys should already be pseudorandom and
42  * there's no way to persist a random salt per master key from kernel mode.

46  * Compute HKDF-Extract using 'master_key' as the input keying material, and
47  * prepare the resulting HMAC key in 'hkdf'.  Afterwards, 'hkdf' can be used for
48  * HKDF-Expand many times without having to recompute HKDF-Extract each time.
