NAME

       shishi_pbkdf2_sha1 - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int  shishi_pbkdf2_sha1(Shishi  *  handle, const char * P, size_t Plen,
       const char * S, size_t Slen, unsigned int c, unsigned int dkLen, char *
       DK);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi * handle
                   shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().

       const char * P
                   input password, an octet string

       size_t Plen length of password, an octet string

       const char * S
                   input salt, an octet string

       size_t Slen length of salt, an octet string

       unsigned int c
                   iteration count, a positive integer

       unsigned int dkLen
                   intended  length  in  octets of the derived key, a positive
                   integer, at most (2^32 - 1) * hLen.  The DK array must have
                   room for this many characters.

       char * DK   output derived key, a dkLen-octet string

DESCRIPTION

       Derive  key  using  the  PBKDF2  defined  in  PKCS5.   PBKDF2 applies a
       pseudorandom function to derive keys. The length of the derived key  is
       essentially unbounded. (However, the maximum effective search space for
       the derived key may be limited  by  the  structure  of  the  underlying
       pseudorandom function, which is this function is always SHA1.)

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
