NAME

Crypt::KeyDerivation - PBKDF1, PBKDF2 and HKDF key derivation functions

SYNOPSIS

  use Crypt::KeyDerivation ':all';
  ### PBKDF1/2
  $derived_key1 = pbkdf1($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  $derived_key2 = pbkdf2($password, $salt, $iteration_count, $hash_name, $len);
  ### HKDF & co.
  $derived_key3 = hkdf($keying_material, $salt, $hash_name, $len, $info);
  $prk  = hkdf_extract($keying_material, $salt, $hash_name);
  $okm1 = hkdf_expand($prk, $hash_name, $len, $info);

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to Key derivation functions:
