openssl_pbkdf2 — Generates a PKCS5 v2 PBKDF2 string
$password,$salt,$key_length,$iterations,$digest_algo = "sha1"openssl_pbkdf2() computes PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2), a key derivation function defined in PKCS5 v2.
passwordPassword from which the derived key is generated.
saltPBKDF2 recommends a crytographic salt of at least 128 bits (16 bytes).
key_lengthLength of desired output key.
iterationsThe number of iterations desired. » NIST recommends at least 1,000. As of 2023, OWASP recommends 600,000 iterations for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 and 210,000 for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512.
digest_algoOptional hash or digest algorithm from openssl_get_md_methods(). Defaults to SHA-1. It is recommended to set it to SHA-256 or SHA-512.
Returns raw binary stringBei einem Fehler wird false zurückgegeben..
Beispiel #1 openssl_pbkdf2() example
<?php
$password = 'password';
$salt = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
$keyLength = 20;
$iterations = 600000;
$generated_key = openssl_pbkdf2($password, $salt, $keyLength, $iterations, 'sha256');
echo bin2hex($generated_key)."\n";
echo base64_encode($generated_key)."\n";
?>
Despite the manual claiming that this is available in PHP 5.5 and above, this function wasn't made available in my local install.
I expect that having a prehistoric OpenSSL library version installed is the likely culprit.
If you're using PHP 5.5 and don't have this function available in your OpenSSL extension, look at the functionally equivalent hash_pbkdf2 function instead.
