## Member Function Documentation

virtual unsigned int PasswordBasedKeyDerivationFunction::DeriveKey | ( | byte * | derived,
|  | unsigned int | derivedLen,
|  | byte | purpose,
|  | const byte * | password,
|  | unsigned int | passwordLen,
|  | const byte * | salt,
|  | unsigned int | saltLen,
|  | unsigned int | iterations,

| derive key from password If timeInSeconds != 0, will iterate until time elapsed, as measured by ThreadUserTimer Returns actual iteration count, which is equal to iterations if timeInSeconds == 0, and not less than iterations otherwise. Implemented in PKCS5_PBKDF1< T >, PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC< T >, and PKCS12_PBKDF< T >.
