<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Module KDF</h1><p class="nomargin-top"></p>
<p>This file contains a collection of standard key derivation functions.</p>
<p>A key derivation function derives one or more secondary secret keys from
one primary secret (a master key or a pass phrase).</p>
<p>This is typically done to insulate the secondary keys from each other,
to avoid that leakage of a secondary key compromises the security of the
master key, or to thwart attacks on pass phrases (e.g. via rainbow tables).</p>

<p>This algorithm is called <tt class="rst-docutils literal">PBKDF1</tt>. Even though it is still described
in the latest version of the PKCS#5 standard (version 2, or RFC2898),
newer applications should use the more secure and versatile <a href="Crypto.Protocol.KDF-module.html#PBKDF2" class="link">PBKDF2</a> instead.</p>
