Introduction The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #5 [RFC2898] Password- Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) is used by several protocols to derive encryption keys from a password. For example, Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) [RFC5802] uses PBKDF2 with Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) [RFC2104] and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) [FIPS.180-1.1995]. Test vectors for the algorithm were not included in the original specification, but are often useful for implementers. This document addresses the shortcoming. 2. PBKDF2 HMAC-SHA1 Test Vectors The input strings below are encoded using ASCII [ANSI.X3-4.1986]. The sequence "\0" (without quotation marks) means a literal ASCII NUL value (1 octet). "DK" refers to the Derived Key. Input: P = "password" (8 octets) S = "salt" (4 octets) c = 1 dkLen = 20 Output: DK = 0c 60 c8 0f 96 1f 0e 71 f3 a9 b5 24 af 60 12 06 2f e0 37 a6 (20 octets) Josefsson Informational [Page 2]

Acknowledgements Barry Brachman and Love Hornquist Astrand confirmed the test vectors (using independent implementations) and pointed out a mistake in the salt octet length count. 4.
