/* HKDF is a simple key derivation function (KDF) based on a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC). It was initially proposed by its authors as a building block in various protocols and applications, as well as to discourage the proliferation of multiple KDF mechanisms. The main approach HKDF follows is the "extract-then-expand" paradigm, where the KDF logically consists of two modules: the first stage takes the input keying material and "extracts" from it a fixed-length pseudorandom key, and then the second stage "expands" this key into several additional pseudorandom keys (the output of the KDF). */ package hkdf import ( "crypto/sha256" "fmt" "golang.org/x/crypto/hkdf" "io" ) /* Expand expands a given key with the HKDF algorithm. */ func Expand(key []byte, length int, info string) ([]byte, error) { var h io.Reader if info == "" { /* Only used during initial login Pseudorandom Key is provided by server and has not to be created */ h = hkdf.Expand(sha256.New, key, []byte(info)) } else { /* Used every other time Pseudorandom Key is created during kdf.New This is the normal that crypto/hkdf is used */ h = hkdf.New(sha256.New, key, nil, []byte(info)) } out := make([]byte, length) n, err := io.ReadAtLeast(h, out, length) if err != nil { return nil, err } if n != length { return nil, fmt.Errorf("new key to short") } return out, nil }
