Key derivation functions
========================
.. module:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf
Key derivation functions derive bytes suitable for cryptographic operations
from passwords or other data sources using a pseudo-random function (PRF).
Different KDFs are suitable for different tasks such as:
* Cryptographic key derivation
Deriving a key suitable for use as input to an encryption algorithm.
Typically this means taking a password and running it through an algorithm
such as :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2.PBKDF2HMAC` or
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.hkdf.HKDF`.
This process is typically known as `key stretching`_.
* Password storage
When storing passwords you want to use an algorithm that is computationally
intensive. Legitimate users will only need to compute it once (for example,
taking the user's password, running it through the KDF, then comparing it
to the stored value), while attackers will need to do it billions of times.
Ideal password storage KDFs will be demanding on both computational and
memory resources.
.. currentmodule:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2
.. class:: PBKDF2HMAC(algorithm, length, salt, iterations, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.2
`PBKDF2`_ (Password Based Key Derivation Function 2) is typically used for
deriving a cryptographic key from a password. It may also be used for
key storage, but an alternate key storage KDF such as
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.scrypt.Scrypt` is generally
considered a better solution.
This class conforms to the
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.KeyDerivationFunction`
interface.
.. doctest::

... )
>>> kdf.verify(b"my great password", key)
:param algorithm: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.HashAlgorithm`.
:param int length: The desired length of the derived key. Maximum is
(2\ :sup:`32` - 1) * ``algorithm.digest_size``.
:param bytes salt: A salt. `NIST SP 800-132`_ recommends 128-bits or
longer.
:param int iterations: The number of iterations to perform of the hash
function. This can be used to control the length of time the operation
takes. Higher numbers help mitigate brute force attacks against derived
keys. See OWASP's `Password Storage Cheat Sheet`_ for more
detailed recommendations if you intend to use this for password storage.
:param backend: An instance of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.PBKDF2HMACBackend`.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.UnsupportedAlgorithm: This is raised if the
provided ``backend`` does not implement
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.PBKDF2HMACBackend`
:raises TypeError: This exception is raised if ``salt`` is not ``bytes``.
.. method:: derive(key_material)
:param bytes key_material: The input key material. For PBKDF2 this
should be a password.
:return bytes: the derived key.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.AlreadyFinalized: This is raised when
:meth:`derive` or
:meth:`verify` is
called more than
once.
:raises TypeError: This exception is raised if ``key_material`` is not
``bytes``.
This generates and returns a new key from the supplied password.
.. method:: verify(key_material, expected_key)
:param bytes key_material: The input key material. This is the same as
``key_material`` in :meth:`derive`.
:param bytes expected_key: The expected result of deriving a new key,
this is the same as the return value of
:meth:`derive`.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.InvalidKey: This is raised when the
derived key does not match
the expected key.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.AlreadyFinalized: This is raised when
:meth:`derive` or
:meth:`verify` is
called more than
once.
This checks whether deriving a new key from the supplied
``key_material`` generates the same key as the ``expected_key``, and
raises an exception if they do not match. This can be used for
checking whether the password a user provides matches the stored derived
key.

.. class:: HKDF(algorithm, length, salt, info, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.2

still meaningfully contribute to security. May be reused. Does not have
to be secret, but may cause stronger security guarantees if secret; see
:rfc:`5869` and the `HKDF paper`_ for more details. If ``None`` is
explicitly passed a default salt of ``algorithm.digest_size // 8`` null
bytes will be used.

is explicitly passed an empty byte string will be used.

Scrypt is a KDF designed for password storage by Colin Percival to be
resistant against hardware-assisted attackers by having a tunable memory
cost. It is described in :rfc:`7914`.
This class conforms to the
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.KeyDerivationFunction`
interface.

:param int n: CPU/Memory cost parameter. It must be larger than 1 and be a
power of 2.
:param int r: Block size parameter.
:param int p: Parallelization parameter.
The computational and memory cost of Scrypt can be adjusted by manipulating
the 3 parameters: ``n``, ``r``, and ``p``. In general, the memory cost of
Scrypt is affected by the values of both ``n`` and ``r``, while ``n`` also
determines the number of iterations performed. ``p`` increases the
computational cost without affecting memory usage. A more in-depth
explanation of the 3 parameters can be found `here`_.
:rfc:`7914` `recommends`_ values of ``r=8`` and ``p=1`` while scaling ``n``
to a number appropriate for your system. `The scrypt paper`_ suggests a
minimum value of ``n=2**14`` for interactive logins (t < 100ms), or
``n=2**20`` for more sensitive files (t < 5s).

This generates and returns a new key from the supplied password.

``key_material`` in :meth:`derive`.

derived key does not match
the expected key.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.AlreadyFinalized: This is raised when

This checks whether deriving a new key from the supplied
``key_material`` generates the same key as the ``expected_key``, and
raises an exception if they do not match. This can be used for
checking whether the password a user provides matches the stored derived
key.

.. class:: KeyDerivationFunction
.. versionadded:: 0.2
.. method:: derive(key_material)
:param bytes key_material: The input key material. Depending on what
key derivation function you are using this
could be either random bytes, or a user
supplied password.
:return: The new key.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.AlreadyFinalized: This is raised when
:meth:`derive` or
:meth:`verify` is
called more than
once.
This generates and returns a new key from the supplied key material.
.. method:: verify(key_material, expected_key)
:param bytes key_material: The input key material. This is the same as
``key_material`` in :meth:`derive`.
:param bytes expected_key: The expected result of deriving a new key,
this is the same as the return value of
:meth:`derive`.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.InvalidKey: This is raised when the
derived key does not match
the expected key.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.AlreadyFinalized: This is raised when
:meth:`derive` or
:meth:`verify` is
called more than
once.
This checks whether deriving a new key from the supplied
``key_material`` generates the same key as the ``expected_key``, and
raises an exception if they do not match. This can be used for
something like checking whether a user's password attempt matches the
stored derived key.
