Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF 7" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF - The PKCS#12 EVP_KDF implementation Header "DESCRIPTION" Support for computing the PKCS#12 password-based KDF through the EVP_KDF API.

The EVP_KDF-PKCS12KDF algorithm implements the PKCS#12 password-based key derivation function, as described in appendix B of RFC 7292 (PKCS #12: Personal Information Exchange Syntax); it derives a key from a password using a salt, iteration count and the intended usage.

Subsection "Identity" "PKCS12KDF" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_KDF_fetch() function. Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are: Item """pass"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PASSWORD) <octet string>"

0

Item """salt"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SALT) <octet string>" Item """iter"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_ITER) <unsigned integer>" Item """properties"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>" Item """digest"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"

These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_KDF\|(3).

Item """id"" (OSSL_KDF_PARAM_PKCS12_ID) <integer>" This parameter is used to specify the intended usage of the output bits, as per RFC 7292 section B.3. Header "NOTES" This algorithm is not available in the FIPS provider as it is not FIPS approvable.

A typical application of this algorithm is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the "pass", a salt in "salt", and an iteration count.

Increasing the "iter" parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number of candidate passwords.

No assumption is made regarding the given password; it is simply treated as a byte sequence.
