NAME

Crypt::PBE::PBKDF2 - Perl extension for PKCS #5 Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2)

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::PBE::PBKDF2;

# OO style

my $pbkdf2 = Crypt::PBE::PBKDF2->new(
    password   => $password,
    salt       => $salt,
    prf        => 'hmac-sha256'
);

$pbkdf2->derived_key;           # Byte
$pbkdf2->derived_key_base64     # Base64 encoded
$pbkdf2->derived_key_hex        # Hex


use Crypt::PBE::PBKDF2 qw(pbkdf2_hmac_sha1 pbkdf2_hmac_sha1_hex pbkdf2_base64 ...);

# Functional style

$derived_key = pbkdf2 ( %params );           # Byte
$derived_key = pbkdf2_base64 ( %params );    # Base64 encoded
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hex ( %params );       # Hex

# Functional style helpers
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha1 ( %params );
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha1_hex ( %params );
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha1_base64 ( %params );

$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha224_hex ( %params );
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha256_base64 ( %params );
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha384_hex ( %params );
$derived_key = pbkdf2_hmac_sha512_base64 ( %params );

DESCRIPTION

PBKDF2 applies a pseudorandom function, such as hash-based message authentication code (HMAC), to the input password or passphrase along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key, which can then be used as a cryptographic key in subsequent operations.

CONSTRUCTOR

Crypt::PBE::PBKDF2->new ( %params )

Params:

  • password : The password to use for the derivation

  • salt : The salt to use for the derivation. This value should be generated randomly.

  • prf : HMAC PRF (pseudo-random function) name (default "hmac-sha1")

  • count : The number of internal iteractions to perform for the derivation key (default "1_000")

  • dk_len : The length of derived key (default "0" -- PRF default length)

METHODS

$pbkdf2->derived_key

Return the derived key in raw output (byte).

$pbkdf2->derived_key_base64

Return the derived key in Base64 encoded format.

$pbkdf2->derived_key_hex

Return the derived key in HEX format.

$pbkdf2->validate ( $derived_key, $password )

Return the validation test for provided password and derived key.

if ($pbkdf2->validate( $my_derived_key, $params->{password} )) {
    say "Valid password";
} else {
    say "Invalid password";
}

$pbkdf2->prf

Return the PRF (Pseudo-Random function) name.

$pbkdf2->count

Return the iteration count number.

$pbkdf2->derived_key_length

Return the derived key length.

FUNCTIONS

pbkdf2 ( prf => ..., password => ..., salt => ..., [ count => 1_000, dk_len => 0 ] )

Return derived key using PBKDF2 function:

my $derived_key = pbkdf2 (
    prf      => 'hmac-sha1',
    password => 'mypassword',
    salt     => my_random_byte_sub(), 
    count    => 2_000
);

print length($derived_key)      # 20

pbkdf2_base64 ( prf => ..., password => ..., salt => ..., [ count => 1_000, dk_len => 0 ] )

Return derived key in Base64 using PBKDF2 function.

pbkdf2_hex ( prf => ..., password => ..., salt => ..., [ count => 1_000, dk_len => 0 ] )

Return derived key in HEX using PBKDF2 function.

pbkdf2_ldap ( prf => ..., password => ..., salt => ..., [ count => 1_000 ] )

Return derived key in LDAP {PBKDF2} schema using PBKDF2 function.

EXPORTABLE HELPER FUNCTIONS
