Our PBKDF2SHA512 class is a cryptofreek.org implementation of PBKDF2. The java doc is copied from the cryptofreek.org post, and states that the class passes all the RFC 6070 test vectors. This is not technically true for PBKDF2SHA512 because we changed the SecretKeyFactory algorithm from HmacSHA1 to HmacSHA512.
There is no direct test coverage for PBKDF2SHA512. It is indirectly covered by the MnemonicCodeTest. Java 8 comes with an implementation of "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512". I've successfully tested this in bitcoinj as a replacement for PBKDF2SHA512. The bitcoinj README states that the core package is limited to Java 6. Bitcoinj compiles in Java 8, including the core package. I propose we update the technologies of bitcoinj core to use Java 8, so that we can remove PBKDF2SHA512 and use the javax.crypto implementation PBKDF2 with HmacSHA512. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bitcoinj" group.
