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
pthe provider associated with this context
typethe 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
secretthe secret part (typically password)
saltthe salt / initialization vector
keyLengththe length of the key to be produced
iterationCountthe number of iterations of the derivation algorith,
virtual SymmetricKey QCA::KDFContext::makeKey ( const SecureArray secret,
const InitializationVector salt,
unsigned int  keyLength,
int  msecInterval,
unsigned int *  iterationCount 
)
pure virtual

Create a key and return it.

Parameters
secretthe secret part (typically password)
saltthe salt / initialization vector
keyLengththe length of the key to be produced
msecIntervalthe maximum time to compute the key, in milliseconds
iterationCounta pointer to store the number of iterations of the derivation algorithm,
