DerivedKey

represents a derived key generated by GenerateDerivedKey.

Details

DerivedKey is an object containing a secure key, which can be used in place of a plain-text password.
DerivedKey contains all the information necessary to verify the password used to generate the key.
In DerivedKey[assoc], the association assoc contains the following:

	"Function"	key derivation function used
	"FunctionParameters"	arguments of the key derivation function
	"DerivedKey"	derived key
	"Salt"	salt used to derive the key

The value of "FunctionParameters" is an Association that contains "KeySize" and parameters specific to the key derivation function used.
DerivedKey[assoc]["prop"] gives the specified element of assoc; it is equivalent to assoc["prop"].
DerivedKey[assoc]["PHCString"] gives a string representation of the derived key.
DerivedKey[assoc]["KeySize"] gives the size of the key in bits.
DerivedKey[assoc]["Parameters"] gives all the information contained in the object, as an association.
DerivedKey[assoc]["Properties"] gives a list of available properties.
