◆ ascon_pbkdf2_hmac()

void ascon_pbkdf2_hmac ( unsigned char *  out,
size_t  outlen,
const unsigned char *  password,
size_t  passwordlen,
const unsigned char *  salt,
size_t  saltlen,
unsigned long  count 
)

Derives key material using ASCON-PBKDF2 (legacy HMAC version).

Parameters
outPoints to the output buffer to receive the key material.
outlenNumber of bytes of key material to generate.
passwordPoints to the bytes of the password.
passwordlenNumber of bytes in the password.
saltPoints to the bytes of the salt.
saltlenNumber of bytes in the salt.
countNumber of iterations to perform. If this is set to zero, then the value will be changed to 1.

This function can generate a maximum of (2^32 - 1) * ASCON_PBKDF2_SIZE bytes, but this limit is not checked. The count value should be large enough to provide resistance against dictionary attacks on the password.

Note
This function uses ASCON-HMAC to implement the pseudorandom function PRF from RFC 8018 for compatibility with existing designs.
