.. 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'.

Title "EVP_KDF-PBKDF2 7ossl"

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
EVP_KDF-PBKDF2 - The PBKDF2 EVP_KDF implementation
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" Support for computing the \s-1PBKDF2\s0 password-based \s-1KDF\s0 through the \s-1EVP_KDF\s0 \s-1API.\s0

The \s-1EVP_KDF-PBKDF2\s0 algorithm implements the \s-1PBKDF2\s0 password-based key derivation function, as described in \s-1SP800-132\s0; it derives a key from a password using a salt and iteration count.

"Identity"
Subsection "Identity" \*(L"\s-1PBKDF2\*(R"\s0 is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function.
"Supported parameters"
Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are: Item "pass (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet string>"

0 Item "salt (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>" Item "iter (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned integer>"

This parameter has a default value of 2048. Item "properties (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"

0 Item "digest (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"

These parameters work as described in \*(L"\s-1PARAMETERS\*(R"\s0 in \s-1EVP_KDF\s0\|(3). Item "pkcs5 (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS5) <integer>" This parameter can be used to enable or disable \s-1SP800-132\s0 compliance checks. Setting the mode to 0 enables the compliance checks. .Sp The checks performed are:

"- the iteration count is at least 1000." 4
Item "- the iteration count is at least 1000."

0

"- the salt length is at least 128 bits." 4
Item "- the salt length is at least 128 bits."
"- the derived key length is at least 112 bits." 4
Item "- the derived key length is at least 112 bits."

.Sp The default provider uses a default mode of 1 for backwards compatibility, and the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider uses a default mode of 0. .Sp The value string is expected to be a decimal number 0 or 1.

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

Increasing the \*(L"iter\*(R" 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.

No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply treated as a byte sequence.
