In cryptography, PBKDF1 and PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) are key derivation functions with a sliding computational cost, aimed to reduce the vulnerability of encrypted keys to brute force attacks.

The PBKDF2 key derivation function has five input parameters:

DK = PBKDF2(PRF, Password, Salt, c, dkLen)

where:

• PRF is a pseudorandom function of two parameters with output length hLen (e.g. a keyed HMAC)
• Password is the master password from which a derived key is generated
• Salt is a sequence of bits, known as a cryptographic salt
• c is the number of iterations desired
• dkLen is the desired bit-length of the derived key
• DK is the generated derived key

php openssl function openssl_pbkdf2: Generates a PKCS5 v2 PBKDF2 string, defaults to SHA-1

• Supported PHP Versions (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7)

The Syntax

string  openssl_pbkdf2 ( string  $password , string  $salt , int  $key_length , int  $iterations [, string  $digest_algorithm ] )

Best Practice for PBKDF2 :

• Use a unique 64-bit salt for each password.
• Use SHA-512
• Use iteration count of at least 10000, the more you can go do measure the server performance.

Examples

openssl_pbkdf2() example Deriving key for my given password

<?php  
/**

echo "Deriving password for my Given Password\n";  
echo "PBKDF2 Example of using SHA algorithms, with random salt value of 16 and the output keylength of 32\n";  
  
$password= "myverystrongpassword";  
$salt=openssl_cipher_iv_length(16);  
$key_length =32;  
$iterations=10000;  
$dk = openssl_pbkdf2($password,salt,$key_length,$iterations,"SHA");  
echo base64_encode($dk);

The above example will output something similar to:

$ /usr/bin/php pbkdf2.php
