About PBKDF2
Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) applies a pseudorandom function to derive cryptographic keys from a password. The number of iterations provides adjustable security/performance tradeoff. PBKDF2 is recommended by NIST and is widely used in applications like WPA2 WiFi security, iOS passcode verification, and password storage. The iteration count should be increased over time as hardware becomes faster.
