Abstract:
This document provides recommendations for the implementation of
password-based cryptography, covering key derivation functions,
encryption schemes, message-authentication schemes, and ASN.1 syntax
identifying the techniques.
The recommendations are intended for general application within
computer and communications systems, and as such include a fair
amount of flexibility. They are particularly intended for the
protection of sensitive information such as private keys, as in PKCS
#8. It is expected that application standards and implementation
profiles based on these specifications may include additional
constraints.
Other cryptographic techniques based on passwords, such as password-
based-key entity authentication and key establishment protocols are
outside the scope of this document. Guidelines for the selection of
passwords are also outside the scope.
This document represents a republication of PKCS #5 v2.1 from RSA
Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) series. By
publishing this RFC, change control is transferred to the IETF.
