NAME
       EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF - The PKCS#12 EVP_KDF implementation


DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing the PKCS#12 password-based KDF through the EVP_KDF API.

       The EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF algorithm implements the PKCS#12 password-based key derivation
       function, as described in appendix B of RFC 7292 (PKCS #12: Personal Information Exchange
       Syntax); it derives a key from a password using a salt, iteration count and the intended
       usage.

   Identity
       "PKCS12KDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch()
       function.

   Supported parameters
       The supported parameters are:

       "pass" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet string>
       "salt" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>
       "iter" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned integer>
       "properties" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
       "digest" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF(3).

       "id" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS12_ID) <integer>
           This parameter is used to specify the intended usage of the output bits, as per RFC
           7292 section B.3.


NOTES
       A typical application of this algorithm 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.

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