A python implementation of the PKCS12 Key Derivation Function (KDF).

The PKCS12 KDF is deprecated and the use of a more modern Key Derivation Function like PBKDF2 is recommended. This library exists for compatibility with existing KDF schemes based on PKCS12.

Usage:

  • Get the password from the user, preferably using getpass()
  • Create an instance of the PKCS12KDF object, passing the following parameters:
    • password
    • salt
    • hash_algorithm (Any hash algorithm supported by hashlib)
    • Desired key length in bits
  • Call generate_key_and_iv on the PKCS12KDF instance, which will return a (key,iv) tuple
