Class PBKDF2

java.lang.Object
  extended bygnu.crypto.prng.BasePRNG
      extended bygnu.crypto.prng.PBKDF2
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable, IRandom

public class PBKDF2
extends BasePRNG
implements java.lang.Cloneable

An implementation of the key derivation function KDF2 from PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography (PBE). This KDF is essentially a way to transform a password and a salt into a stream of random bytes, which may then be used to initialize a cipher or a MAC.

This version uses a MAC as its pseudo-random function, and the password is used as the key.
