=head1 DESCRIPTION
These methods perform a key derivation according to PKCS#12 (RFC7292)
with an input password I<pass> of length I<passlen>, a salt I<salt> of length
I<saltlen>, an iteration count I<iter> and a digest algorithm I<md_type>.
The ID byte I<id> determines how the resulting key is intended to be used:
=over 4
=item *
If ID=1, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used
as key material for performing encryption or decryption.
=item *
If ID=2, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used
as an IV (Initial Value) for encryption or decryption.
=item *
If ID=3, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used
as an integrity key for MACing.
=back
The intended format of the supplied password is determined by the method chosen:
=over 4
=item *
PKCS12_key_gen_asc() and PKCS12_key_gen_asc_ex() expect an ASCII-formatted password.
=item *
PKCS12_key_gen_uni() and PKCS12_key_gen_uni_ex() expect a Unicode-formatted password.
=item *
PKCS12_key_gen_utf8() and PKCS12_key_gen_utf8_ex() expect a UTF-8 encoded password.
=back
I<pass> is the password used in the derivation of length I<passlen>. I<pass>
is an optional parameter and can be NULL. If I<passlen> is -1, then the
function will calculate the length of I<pass> using strlen().
I<salt> is the salt used in the derivation of length I<saltlen>. If the
I<salt> is NULL, then I<saltlen> must be 0. The function will not
attempt to calculate the length of the I<salt> because it is not assumed to
be NULL terminated.
I<iter> is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or
equal to 1. RFC 2898 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any
I<iter> less than 1 is treated as a single iteration.
I<digest> is the message digest function used in the derivation.
The derived key will be written to I<out>. The size of the I<out> buffer
is specified via I<n>.
Functions ending in _ex() allow for a library context I<ctx> and property query
I<propq> to be used to select algorithm implementations.
=head1 NOTES
A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an
encryption algorithm from a password in the I<pass>, a salt in I<salt>,
and an iteration count.
Increasing the I<iter> parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number
of candidate passwords.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
Returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
