For the function PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1, Yes. See https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Manual:PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(3). I'm not sure what the significance of 0.9.8zf is. > 2) Is PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1() preferable to EVP_BytesToKey() and why ? Yes. See https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Manual:EVP_BytesToKey(3). _______________________________________________ openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
