PBKDF2

Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 is used in deriving cryptographic keys.

Deriving a Key Using PBKDF2-HMAC​

Derive Key (PBKDF2-HMAC) generates a derived key using the PBKDF2 algorithm, applying HMAC as its pseudorandom function. This function requires inputs as follows:

  • Digest Type 1 : Type of digest function used in HMAC.
  • Password 2 : The password used as master for derived key.
  • Salt 3 : The cryptographic salt.
  • Iterations 4 : Number of iterations performed.
  • Derived Length 5 : Length of the derived key.

Deriving a Key Using PBKDF2-HMAC

If the operation is successful, the value Derived Key 6 will hold the generated key, of specified length.
