131 .IX Title "EVP_BytesToKey 3"
132 .TH EVP_BytesToKey 3 "2005-02-24" "0.9.7d" "OpenSSL"
134 EVP_BytesToKey \- password based encryption routine
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
138 \& #include <openssl/evp.h>
142 \& int EVP_BytesToKey(const EVP_CIPHER *type,const EVP_MD *md,
143 \& const unsigned char *salt,
144 \& const unsigned char *data, int datal, int count,
145 \& unsigned char *key,unsigned char *iv);
148 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
149 \&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR derives a key and \s-1IV\s0 from various parameters. \fBtype\fR is
150 the cipher to derive the key and \s-1IV\s0 for. \fBmd\fR is the message digest to use.
151 The \fBsalt\fR paramter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to
152 an 8 byte buffer or \s-1NULL\s0 if no salt is used. \fBdata\fR is a buffer containing
153 \&\fBdatal\fR bytes which is used to derive the keying data. \fBcount\fR is the
154 iteration count to use. The derived key and \s-1IV\s0 will be written to \fBkey\fR
155 and \fBiv\fR respectively.
158 A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an
159 encryption algorithm from a password in the \fBdata\fR parameter.
161 Increasing the \fBcount\fR parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
162 harder for an attacker to peform a brute force attack using a large number
163 of candidate passwords.
165 If the total key and \s-1IV\s0 length is less than the digest length and
166 \&\fB\s-1MD5\s0\fR is used then the derivation algorithm is compatible with PKCS#5 v1.5
167 otherwise a non standard extension is used to derive the extra data.
169 Newer applications should use more standard algorithms such as PKCS#5
170 v2.0 for key derivation.
171 .SH "KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM"
172 .IX Header "KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM"
173 The key and \s-1IV\s0 is derived by concatenating D_1, D_2, etc until
174 enough data is available for the key and \s-1IV\s0. D_i is defined as:
177 \& D_i = HASH^count(D_(i-1) || data || salt)
180 where || denotes concatentaion, D_0 is empty, \s-1HASH\s0 is the digest
181 algorithm in use, HASH^1(data) is simply \s-1HASH\s0(data), HASH^2(data)
182 is \s-1HASH\s0(\s-1HASH\s0(data)) and so on.
184 The initial bytes are used for the key and the subsequent bytes for
187 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
188 \&\fIEVP_BytesToKey()\fR returns the size of the derived key in bytes.
