            Bug ID: 27403
           Summary: Should PBKDF2 be allowed on non-multiple of 8 lengths
                    for consistency?
           Product: Web Cryptography
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Cryptography API Document
          Assignee: sleevi@google.com
          Reporter: ericroman@google.com
                CC: public-webcrypto@w3.org

PBKDF2 throws an OperationError if length is not a multiple of 8 bits.

This seems inconsistent with deriveBits() for other algorithms, which simply
truncate to the specified bit length (for instance ECDH and DH).
