Bug#861812: ITP: node-evp-bytestokey -- secure key derivation algorithm from openssl
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: ro...@debian.org X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: node-evp-bytestokey Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Calvin Metcalf* URL : https://github.com/crypto-browserify/EVP_BytesToKey * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : secure key derivation algorithm from openssl EVP_BytesToKey() derives a key and IV from various parameters. type is the cipher to derive the key and IV for. md is the message digest to use. The salt parameter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to an 8 byte buffer or NULL if no salt is used. data is a buffer containing datal bytes which is used to derive the keying data. count is the iteration count to use. The derived key and IV will be written to key and iv respectively. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
