.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR derives a key and \s-1IV\s0 from various parameters. \fBtype\fR is
the cipher to derive the key and \s-1IV\s0 for. \fBmd\fR is the message digest to use.
The \fBsalt\fR paramter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to
an 8 byte buffer or \s-1NULL\s0 if no salt is used. \fBdata\fR is a buffer containing
\&\fBdatal\fR bytes which is used to derive the keying data. \fBcount\fR is the
iteration count to use. The derived key and \s-1IV\s0 will be written to \fBkey\fR
and \fBiv\fR respectively.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an
encryption algorithm from a password in the \fBdata\fR parameter.
.PP
Increasing the \fBcount\fR parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
harder for an attacker to peform a brute force attack using a large number
of candidate passwords.
.PP
If the total key and \s-1IV\s0 length is less than the digest length and
\&\fB\s-1MD5\s0\fR is used then the derivation algorithm is compatible with PKCS#5 v1.5
otherwise a non standard extension is used to derive the extra data.
.PP
Newer applications should use more standard algorithms such as PKCS#5
v2.0 for key derivation.
.SH "KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM"
The key and \s-1IV\s0 is derived by concatenating D_1, D_2, etc until
enough data is available for the key and \s-1IV\s0. D_i is defined as:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& D_i = HASH^count(D_(i-1) || data || salt)
.Ve
.PP
where || denotes concatentaion, D_0 is empty, \s-1HASH\s0 is the digest
algorithm in use, HASH^1(data) is simply \s-1HASH\s0(data), HASH^2(data)
is \s-1HASH\s0(\s-1HASH\s0(data)) and so on.
.PP
The initial bytes are used for the key and the subsequent bytes for
the \s-1IV\s0.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR returns the size of the derived key in bytes.
