Class HKDFBytesGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.spongycastle.crypto.generators.HKDFBytesGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

DerivationFunction

public class HKDFBytesGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements DerivationFunction

HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function (HKDF) implemented according to IETF RFC 5869, May 2010 as specified by H. Krawczyk, IBM Research & P. Eronen, Nokia. It uses a HMac internally to compute de OKM (output keying material) and is likely to have better security properties than KDF's based on just a hash function.
