Hello,

i am wondering how key derivation in openssl works, I got

> > openssl enc -des -P -k 'admin' -nosalt
key=21232F297A57A5A7
iv =43894A0E4A801FC3

as far i understand the documentation, in this setting the key and iv are
just taken from

md5(admin)=456b7016a916a4b178dd72b947c152b7

but obviously there has to be some magic. Could someone give me a hint for
good documentation ( != source )?

 stephan
