Hi, I have written a interface to OpenSSL's PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC() function. It implements PKCS#5's password based key derivation function 2 with HMAC as pseudo-random function. It supports any digest that is supported by OpenSSL, e.g. SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. It's a low level inteface that takes the digest as unicode name, password and salt as bytes/buffer, keylen and rounds as int.
I'd like to add the feature to Python 3.4. Now I'm looking for a good place to put it and some high level functions. In the future I like to add scrypt and bcrypt key stretching and key derivation functions, too. What's a good place for them?? * add a new ``kdf`` module (key derivation function) * add PBKDF2 to ``hashlib`` * make ``hashlib`` a package and add PBKDF2 to a new ``hashlib.kdf`` module * make ``hashlib`` a package and add PBKDF2 to a new ``hashlib.pbkdf2`` module * make ``crypt`` work under Windows and add PKBDF2 to it The patch is available at http://bugs.python.org/issue18582 Regards, Christian _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
