NAME

File::KDBX::KDF::AES - Using the AES cipher as a key derivation function

VERSION

version 0.906

DESCRIPTION

An AES-256-based key derivation function. This is a File::KDBX::KDF subclass.

This KDF has a long, solid track record. It is supported in both KDBX3 and KDBX4.

ATTRIBUTES

rounds

$rounds = $kdf->rounds;

Get the number of times to run the function during transformation.

CAVEATS

This module can be pretty slow when the number of rounds is high. If you have File::KDBX::XS, that will help. If your perl has fork, that will also help. If you need to turn off one or both of these optimizations for some reason, set the PERL_ONLY (to prevent Loading File::KDBX::XS) and NO_FORK environment variables.
