The <b>salt</b> parameter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to an 8 byte buffer or NULL if no salt is used. <b>data</b> is a buffer containing <b>datal</b> bytes which is used to derive the keying data. <b>count</b> is the iteration count to use. The derived key and IV will be written to <b>key</b> and <b>iv</b> respectively.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the <b>data</b> parameter.</p> <p>Increasing the <b>count</b> 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.</p> <p>If the total key and IV length is less than the digest length and <b>MD5</b> 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.</p> <p>Newer applications should use a more modern algorithm such as PBKDF2 as defined in PKCS#5v2.1 and provided by PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC.</p> <h1 id="KEY-DERIVATION-ALGORITHM">KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM</h1> <p>The key and IV is derived by concatenating D_1, D_2, etc until enough data is available for the key and IV. D_i is defined as:</p> <pre><code> D_i = HASH^count(D_(i-1) || data || salt)</code></pre> <p>where || denotes concatenation, D_0 is empty, HASH is the digest algorithm in use, HASH^1(data) is simply HASH(data), HASH^2(data) is HASH(HASH(data)) and so on.</p> <p>The initial bytes are used for the key and the subsequent bytes for the IV.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>If <b>data</b> is NULL, then EVP_BytesToKey() returns the number of bytes needed to store the derived key. Otherwise, EVP_BytesToKey() returns the size of the derived key in bytes, or 0 on error.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man7/evp.html">evp(7)</a>, <a href="../man3/RAND_bytes.html">RAND_bytes(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC.html">PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_EncryptInit.html">EVP_EncryptInit(3)</a></p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2001-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
