(1) I assume the correct reference is RFC2898 (2) Do we need to support PBKDF2 with pseudo-random functions other than HMAC ? Presently the parameters dictionary allows us to specify the pseudo-random function, prf, in contrast to HKDF where we are allowed only to specify the hash function to be used with HMAC Restricting to HMAC is much simpler to specify. If we allow arbitrary PRFs, we need to define what properties they must have: support of sign operation and import of arbitrary size raw key. These requirements restrict us to HMAC anyway (from the existing algorithms). Does anyone use PBKDF with a PRF other than HMAC ? What ? ...Mark
