1.  Introduction

The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #5 (Kaliski, B., “PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Specification Version 2.0,” September 2000.) [RFC2898] Password Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) is used by several protocols to derive encryption keys from a password.

For example, Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) (Newman, C., Menon-Sen, A., Melnikov, A., and N. Williams, “Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) SASL and GSS-API Mechanisms,” July 2010.) [RFC5802] uses PBKDF2 with Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) (Krawczyk, H., Bellare, M., and R. Canetti, “HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication,” February 1997.) [RFC2104] and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) (National Institute of Standards and Technology, “Secure Hash Standard,” April 1995.) [FIPS.180‑1.1995].

Test vectors for the algorithm were not included in the original specification, but are often useful for implementers. This document addresses this shortcoming.

2.  PBKDF2 HMAC-SHA1 Test Vectors

Below the input strings are encoded using ASCII (American National Standards Institute, “Coded Character Set - 7-bit American Standard Code for Information Interchange,” 1986.) [ANSI.X3‑4.1986]. The sequence "\0" (without quotation marks) means a literal ASCII NUL value (1 octet).

  Input:
    P = "password" (8 octets)
    S = "salt" (4 octets)
    c = 1
    dkLen = 20

  Output:
    DK = 0c 60 c8 0f 96 1f 0e 71
         f3 a9 b5 24 af 60 12 06

  Input:
    P = "password" (8 octets)
    S = "salt" (4 octets)
    c = 2
    dkLen = 20

  Output:

  Input:

3.  Acknowledgements

Barry Brachman and Love Hörnquist Åstrand confirmed the test vectors (using independent implementations) and pointed out a mistake in the salt octet length count.
