HKDF (HMAC-based Key Derivation Function) is a module in the Python cryptography library that provides cryptographic key derivation using the HKDF algorithm. HKDF is a standard algorithm that generates a secure key based on an input key material and additional parameters such as salt or info. It uses a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-256) and a pseudo-random function (HMAC) to derive a strong and unique key suitable for various cryptographic applications. HKDF is commonly used in applications such as password hashing, encryption, and authentication to generate secure keys from weak or low-entropy input material. The Python cryptography library's HKDF module, located in the primitives.kdf.hkdf module, provides an easy and efficient way to derive secure keys using the trusted HKDF algorithm.
