Re: [RFC] Add hash_pbkdf2 function

When you say "currently available algorithms", are you talking about the hash library as a whole? Or recommended for use with PBKDF2? Or other iterated stretching algorithms similar to PBKDF2? > About adding this to 5.4, I do not think it should be done.

When I proposed the draft earlier I had indicated that it was for trunk, and others said it could go into 5.4. That's why I put that section in the RFC. Personally, I'm in the middle. I can see some advantage to adding it to 5.4, but I can also see some disadvantages. So I leave that decision to others (such as yourself). Thanks, Anthony
