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. The added computational work makes password cracking much more difficult, and is known as key stretching. fastpbkdf2 is a fast PBKDF2-HMAC-{SHA1,SHA256,SHA512} implementation in C. It uses OpenSSL's hash functions, but out-performs OpenSSL's own PBKDF2 thanks to various optimisations in the inner loop.
Crypt::OpenSSL::FASTPBKDF2 is a set of Perl bindings for fastpbkdf2.
Executes PBKDF2 via HMAC_SHA1 to hash $password with $salt repeatedly, $iterations times, to derive and return a hash that is $output_len bytes long. If the optional @buffer param is provided, the result will also be appended onto the array.
$password
$salt
$iterations
$output_len
@buffer
Same as fastpbkdf2_hmac_sha1 but instead uses HMAC_SHA256
fastpbkdf2_hmac_sha1
Same as fastpbkdf2_hmac_sha1 but instead uses HMAC_SHA512
