  2. =head1 NAME
  3. EVP_BytesToKey - password based encryption routine
  4. =head1 SYNOPSIS
  5. #include <openssl/evp.h>
  6. int EVP_BytesToKey(const EVP_CIPHER *type, const EVP_MD *md,
  7. const unsigned char *salt,
  8. const unsigned char *data, int datal, int count,
  9. unsigned char *key, unsigned char *iv);
  10. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  11. EVP_BytesToKey() derives a key and IV from various parameters. B<type> is
  12. the cipher to derive the key and IV for. B<md> is the message digest to use.
  13. The B<salt> parameter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to
  14. an 8 byte buffer or NULL if no salt is used. B<data> is a buffer containing
  15. B<datal> bytes which is used to derive the keying data. B<count> is the
  16. iteration count to use. The derived key and IV will be written to B<key>
  17. and B<iv> respectively.
  18. =head1 NOTES
  19. A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an
  20. encryption algorithm from a password in the B<data> parameter.
  21. Increasing the B<count> parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
  22. harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number
  23. of candidate passwords.
  24. If the total key and IV length is less than the digest length and
  25. B<MD5> is used then the derivation algorithm is compatible with PKCS#5 v1.5
  26. otherwise a non standard extension is used to derive the extra data.
  27. Newer applications should use a more modern algorithm such as PBKDF2 as
  28. defined in PKCS#5v2.1 and provided by PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC.
  29. =head1 KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM
  30. The key and IV is derived by concatenating D_1, D_2, etc until
  31. enough data is available for the key and IV. D_i is defined as:
  32. D_i = HASH^count(D_(i-1) || data || salt)
  33. where || denotes concatenation, D_0 is empty, HASH is the digest
  34. algorithm in use, HASH^1(data) is simply HASH(data), HASH^2(data)
  35. is HASH(HASH(data)) and so on.
  36. The initial bytes are used for the key and the subsequent bytes for
  37. the IV.
  38. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  39. If B<data> is NULL, then EVP_BytesToKey() returns the number of bytes
  40. needed to store the derived key.
  41. Otherwise, EVP_BytesToKey() returns the size of the derived key in bytes,
  42. or 0 on error.
