.SH NAME
EVP_KDF\-PKCS12KDF \- The PKCS#12 EVP_KDF implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Support for computing the \fBPKCS#12\fR password-based KDF through the \fBEVP_KDF\fR
API.
.PP
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.
.SS Identity
.IX Subsection "Identity"
"PKCS12KDF" is the name for this implementation; it
can be used with the \fBEVP_KDF_fetch()\fR function.
.SS "Supported parameters"
.IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
The supported parameters are:
.IP """pass"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """pass"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet string>"
.PD 0
.IP """salt"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """salt"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>"
.IP """iter"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """iter"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """properties"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
.IP """digest"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
.PD
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_KDF\fR\|(3).
.IP """id"" (\fBOSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS12_ID\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """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.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
This algorithm is not available in the FIPS provider as it is not FIPS
approvable.
.PP
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.
.PP
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.
.PP
No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply treated as a
byte sequence.
