 * call-seq:
 *   KDF.pbkdf2_hmac(pass, salt:, iterations:, length:, hash:) -> aString
 *
 * PKCS #5 PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) in combination
 * with HMAC. Takes _pass_, _salt_ and _iterations_, and then derives a key
 * of _length_ bytes.
 *
 * For more information about PBKDF2, see RFC 2898 Section 5.2
 * (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2898#section-5.2).
 *
 * === Parameters
 * pass       :: The passphrase.
 * salt       :: The salt. Salts prevent attacks based on dictionaries of common
 *               passwords and attacks based on rainbow tables. It is a public
 *               value that can be safely stored along with the password (e.g.
 *               if the derived value is used for password storage).
 * iterations :: The iteration count. This provides the ability to tune the
 *               algorithm. It is better to use the highest count possible for
 *               the maximum resistance to brute-force attacks.
 * length     :: The desired length of the derived key in octets.
 * hash       :: The hash algorithm used with HMAC for the PRF. May be a String
 *               representing the algorithm name, or an instance of
 *               OpenSSL::Digest.

 * call-seq:

 *
 * Derives a key from _pass_ using given parameters with the scrypt
 * password-based key derivation function. The result can be used for password
 * storage.
 *
 * scrypt is designed to be memory-hard and more secure against brute-force
 * attacks using custom hardwares than alternative KDFs such as PBKDF2 or
 * bcrypt.
 *
 * The keyword arguments _N_, _r_ and _p_ can be used to tune scrypt. RFC 7914
 * (published on 2016-08, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7914#section-2) states
 * that using values r=8 and p=1 appears to yield good results.
 *
 * See RFC 7914 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7914) for more information.
 *
 * === Parameters
 * pass   :: Passphrase.
 * salt   :: Salt.
 * N      :: CPU/memory cost parameter. This must be a power of 2.
 * r      :: Block size parameter.
 * p      :: Parallelization parameter.
 * length :: Length in octets of the derived key.
 *
 * === Example
 *   pass = "password"
 *   salt = SecureRandom.random_bytes(16)
 *   dk = OpenSSL::KDF.scrypt(pass, salt: salt, N: 2**14, r: 8, p: 1, length: 32)

    /*
     * Document-module: OpenSSL::KDF
     *
     * Provides functionality of various KDFs (key derivation function).
     *
     * KDF is typically used for securely deriving arbitrary length symmetric
     * keys to be used with an OpenSSL::Cipher from passwords. Another use case
     * is for storing passwords: Due to the ability to tweak the effort of
     * computation by increasing the iteration count, computation can be slowed
     * down artificially in order to render possible attacks infeasible.
     *
     * Currently, OpenSSL::KDF provides implementations for the following KDF:
     *
     * * PKCS #5 PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) in
     *   combination with HMAC
     * * scrypt
     * * HKDF
     *
     * == Examples
     * === Generating a 128 bit key for a Cipher (e.g. AES)
     *   pass = "secret"
     *   salt = OpenSSL::Random.random_bytes(16)
     *   iter = 20_000
     *   key_len = 16
     *   key = OpenSSL::KDF.pbkdf2_hmac(pass, salt: salt, iterations: iter,
     *                                  length: key_len, hash: "sha1")
     *
     * === Storing Passwords
     *   pass = "secret"
     *   # store this with the generated value
     *   salt = OpenSSL::Random.random_bytes(16)
     *   iter = 20_000
     *   hash = OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256')
     *   len = hash.digest_length
     *   # the final value to be stored
     *   value = OpenSSL::KDF.pbkdf2_hmac(pass, salt: salt, iterations: iter,
     *                                    length: len, hash: hash)
     *
     * == Important Note on Checking Passwords
     * When comparing passwords provided by the user with previously stored
     * values, a common mistake made is comparing the two values using "==".
     * Typically, "==" short-circuits on evaluation, and is therefore
     * vulnerable to timing attacks. The proper way is to use a method that
     * always takes the same amount of time when comparing two values, thus
     * not leaking any information to potential attackers. To do this, use
     * +OpenSSL.fixed_length_secure_compare+.
