+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_BytesToKey - password based encryption routine
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+ int EVP_BytesToKey(const EVP_CIPHER *type, const EVP_MD *md,
+                    const unsigned char *salt,
+                    const unsigned char *data, int datal, int count,
+                    unsigned char *key, unsigned char *iv);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+EVP_BytesToKey() derives a key and IV from various parameters. B<type> is
+the cipher to derive the key and IV for. B<md> is the message digest to use.
+The B<salt> parameter is used as a salt in the derivation: it should point to
+an 8 byte buffer or NULL if no salt is used. B<data> is a buffer containing
+B<datal> bytes which is used to derive the keying data. B<count> is the
+iteration count to use. The derived key and IV will be written to B<key>
+and B<iv> respectively.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an
+encryption algorithm from a password in the B<data> parameter.
+
+Increasing the B<count> parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
+harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number
+of candidate passwords.
+
+If the total key and IV length is less than the digest length and
+B<MD5> is used then the derivation algorithm is compatible with PKCS#5 v1.5
+otherwise a non standard extension is used to derive the extra data.
+
+Newer applications should use a more modern algorithm such as PBKDF2 as
+defined in PKCS#5v2.1 and provided by PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC.
+
+=head1 KEY DERIVATION ALGORITHM
+
+The key and IV is derived by concatenating D_1, D_2, etc until
+enough data is available for the key and IV. D_i is defined as:
+
+        D_i = HASH^count(D_(i-1) || data || salt)
+
+where || denotes concatenation, D_0 is empty, HASH is the digest
+algorithm in use, HASH^1(data) is simply HASH(data), HASH^2(data)
+is HASH(HASH(data)) and so on.
+
+The initial bytes are used for the key and the subsequent bytes for
+the IV.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+If B<data> is NULL, then EVP_BytesToKey() returns the number of bytes
+needed to store the derived key.
+Otherwise, EVP_BytesToKey() returns the size of the derived key in bytes,
+or 0 on error.
