PKCS5

>>> from tomcrypt.pkcs5 import pkcs5

This module contains a function which performs the pkcs5 password hashing scheme. Arguments are available to specify the iteration count (defaults to 1024), hash algo (defaults to sha256), and the hash length (defaults to the full hash).

tomcrypt.pkcs5.pkcs5(password, salt, iteration_count, hash)

Calculates PKCS #5 Password-based Encryption Standard (version 2) of a given string with a given salt.

Parameters:

• password (bytes) – The password to hash.
• salt (bytes) – The salt to use.
• iteration_count (int) – The number of times to hash.
• hash – The algorithm to use: a str or hash.Descriptor.
