18  * SHA-512 because it is well-established, secure, and reasonably efficient.
19  *
20  * HKDF-SHA256 was also considered, as its 256-bit security strength would be
21  * sufficient here.  A 512-bit security strength is "nice to have", though.
22  * Also, on 64-bit CPUs, SHA-512 is usually just as fast as SHA-256.  In the
23  * common case of deriving an AES-256-XTS key (512 bits), that can result in
24  * HKDF-SHA512 being much faster than HKDF-SHA256, as the longer digest size of
25  * SHA-512 causes HKDF-Expand to only need to do one iteration rather than two.

31  * HKDF consists of two steps:
32  *
33  * 1. HKDF-Extract: extract a pseudorandom key of length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes from
34  *    the input keying material and optional salt.
35  * 2. HKDF-Expand: expand the pseudorandom key into output keying material of
36  *    any length, parameterized by an application-specific info string.
37  *
38  * HKDF-Extract can be skipped if the input is already a pseudorandom key of
39  * length HKDF_HASHLEN bytes.  However, cipher modes other than AES-256-XTS take
40  * shorter keys, and we don't want to force users of those modes to provide
41  * unnecessarily long master keys.  Thus fscrypt still does HKDF-Extract.  No
42  * salt is used, since fscrypt master keys should already be pseudorandom and
43  * there's no way to persist a random salt per master key from kernel mode.

47  * Compute HKDF-Extract using the given master key as the input keying material,

50  * Afterwards, the keyed HMAC transform object can be used for HKDF-Expand many
51  * times without having to recompute HKDF-Extract each time.
