Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator

KeyGenerator is a simple implementation of PBFDF2.

It can be used to derive a number of keys for various purposes from a given secret. This lets applications have a single secure secret, but avoid reusing that key in multiple incompatible contexts.

Summary

generate(secret, salt, opts \\ [])

Returns a derived key suitable for use

Functions

generate(secret, salt, opts \\ [])

Returns a derived key suitable for use.

Options

  • :iterations - defaults to 1000 (increase to at least 2^16 if used for passwords);
  • :length - a length in octets for the derived key. Defaults to 32;
  • :digest - an hmac function to use as the pseudo-random function. Defaults to :sha256;
  • :cache - an ETS table name to be used as cache. Only use an ETS table as cache if the secret and salt is a bound set of values. For example: :ets.new(:your_name, [:named_table, :public, read_concurrency: true])
