Package pbkdf2
Package pbkdf2 implements password-based key derivation using the PBKDF2
algorithm described in RFC 2898 and RFC 8018.
It provides a drop-in replacement for `golang.org/x/crypto/pbkdf2`, with
the following benefits:
- Released as a module with semantic versioning
- Does not pull in dependencies for unrelated `x/crypto/*` packages
- Supports Go 1.9+
See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8018#section-4 for security considerations
in the selection of a salt and iteration count.
func Key(password, salt []byte, iterCount, keyLen int, h func() hash.Hash) []byte
Key generates a derived key from a password using the PBKDF2 algorithm. The
inputs include salt bytes, the iteration count, desired key length, and a
constructor for a hashing function. For example, for a 32-byte key using
SHA-256:
key := Key([]byte("trustNo1"), salt, 10000, 32, sha256.New)
