Applies the selected HMAC digest function -(default: SHA1) to derive a key of the requested length from the password, +(default: SHA1) to derive a key of the requested byte length from the password, salt and number of iterations. The callback gets two arguments: `(err, derivedKey)`. Example: - crypto.pbkdf2('secret', 'salt', 4096, 512, 'sha256', function(err, key) { + crypto.pbkdf2('secret', 'salt', 4096, 64, 'sha256', function(err, key) { if (err) throw err; console.log(key.toString('hex')); // 'c5e478d...1469e50' -- 2.7.4
