.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC, PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 - password based derivation routines with salt and iteration count
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(const char *pass, int passlen, const unsigned char *salt, int saltlen, int iter, const EVP_MD *digest, int keylen, unsigned char *out); \& int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1(const char *pass, int passlen, const unsigned char *salt, int saltlen, int iter, int keylen, unsigned char *out); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \s-1PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC\s0() derives a key from a password using a salt and iteration count as specified in \s-1RFC 2898.\s0

\fBpass is the password used in the derivation of length passlen. pass is an optional parameter and can be \s-1NULL.\s0 If passlen is -1, then the function will calculate the length of pass using strlen().

\fBsalt is the salt used in the derivation of length saltlen. If the \fBsalt is \s-1NULL,\s0 then saltlen must be 0. The function will not attempt to calculate the length of the salt because it is not assumed to be \s-1NULL\s0 terminated.

\fBiter is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or equal to 1. \s-1RFC 2898\s0 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any \fBiter less than 1 is treated as a single iteration.

\fBdigest is the message digest function used in the derivation. Values include any of the EVP_* message digests. \s-1PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1\s0() calls \s-1PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC\s0() with EVP_sha1().

The derived key will be written to out. The size of the out buffer is specified via keylen.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the pass, a salt in salt, and an iteration count.

Increasing the iter parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number of candidate passwords.

These functions make no assumption regarding the given password. It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \s-1PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC\s0() and \s-1PBKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1\s0() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
