Detailed Description

Key derivation function provider.

Note:
This class is part of the provider plugin interface and should not be used directly by applications. You probably want KeyDerivationFunction instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCA::KDFContext::KDFContext ( Provider p,
const QString type 
) [inline]

Standard constructor.

Parameters:
p the provider associated with this context
type the name of the KDF provided by this context (including algorithm)


Member Function Documentation

virtual SymmetricKey QCA::KDFContext::makeKey ( const SecureArray secret,
const InitializationVector salt,
unsigned int  keyLength,
unsigned int  iterationCount 
) [pure virtual]

Create a key and return it.

Parameters:
secret the secret part (typically password)
salt the salt / initialization vector
keyLength the length of the key to be produced
iterationCount the number of iterations of the derivation algorith,
