PBKDF2

/*
** SYNOPSIS
**   echo "passphrase" | pbkdf2 salt_hex count > 48_byte_hex_key_and_iv
**
** DESCRIPTION
**
** Make the "Password-Based Key Derivation Function v2" function found in
** the openssl library available to the command line, as it is not available
** for use from the "openssl" command.  At the time of writing the "openssl"
** command only encrypts using the older, 'fast' pbkdf1.5 method.
**
** The 'salt_hex' is the salt to be used, as a hexadecimal string. Typically
** this is 8 bytes (64 bit), and is an assigned randomly during encryption.
**
** The 'count' is iteration count used to make the calculation of the key
** from the passphrase longer so as to take 1/2 to 2 seconds to generate.
** This complexity prevents slows down brute force attacks enormously.
**
** The output of the above is a 48 bytes in hexadeximal, which is typically
** used for 32 byte encryption key KEY and a 16 byte IV as needed by
** Crypt-AES-256 (or some other encryption method).
**
** NOTE: While the "openssl" command can accept a hex encoded 'key' and 'iv'
** it only does so on the command line, which is insecure.  As such I
** recommend that the output only be used with API access to the "OpenSSL"
** cryptography libraries.
**
** FUTURE: Provide an optional argument to specify the Key+IV output size
** wanted.  As given above it currently defaults to 48 bytes (32 key + 16 iv).

**
** Based on a test program "pkcs5.c" found on
**   http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org
** which uses openssl to perform PBKDF2 (RFC2898) iteritive (slow) password
** hashing.

** Build
**    gcc -o pbkdf2 pbkdf2.c -lssl
