NAME
       EVP_KDF-PBKDF1 - The PBKDF1 EVP_KDF implementation


DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing the PBKDF1 password-based KDF through the EVP_KDF API.

       The EVP_KDF-PBKDF1 algorithm implements the PBKDF1 password-based key derivation function,
       as described in RFC 8018; it derives a key from a password using a salt and iteration
       count.

   Identity
       "PBKDF1" 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>
           This parameter has a default value of 0 and should be set.

       "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).


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.
