HKDF is a simple key derivation function defined in RFC 5869.

Documentation

▸ hkdf(digest, ikm, salt, info, keylen): Promise<Uint8Array>

The given ikm, salt and info are used with the digest to derive a key of keylen bytes.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
digest	"sha256" | "sha384" | "sha512" | "sha1"	The digest algorithm to use.
ikm	Uint8Array | string	The input keying material. It must be at least one byte in length.
salt	Uint8Array | string	The salt value. Must be provided but can be zero-length.
info	Uint8Array | string	Additional info value. Must be provided but can be zero-length, and cannot be more than 1024 bytes.
keylen	number	The length in bytes of the key to generate. Must be greater than 0 and no more than 255 times the digest size.

Returns

Promise<Uint8Array>
