Hello, This seems a quite group so apologies if I'm posting too often. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick overview of the benefits of using: PKCS5_PBKDF1, PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC and PKCS12_PBKDF.
For background, I'm developing what will probably become a (windows) service or possibly statically linked library where the key will have to be derived every time the class is constructed (so I don't want it taking too long). The passphrase will be coming from a DB or ini file in the calling exe and used to decrypt (and MAC verify) data encryption keys stored in the OS file system (these in turn can encrypt/decrypt the data sent from the calling task - a massive single point of failure but can't think of any other way). I'm currently just SHA256ing the phrase (without salt) and thinking that might be enough in itself. Thanks for your help, Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
