[edit] Naming

Some naming needs to be sorted out for this article. Should there be a general Password Key Derivation Function page and discuss PBKDF1 and 2 there? Or should PBKDF be a page, and discuss 1 and 2 there? or should 1 and 2 be seperated into their own pages? Thoughts? --ORBIT 18:46, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thoughts: there is already a general page, I believe: Key derivation function. I think the PBKDF stuff can be treated separately, but my hunch is that it's best to cover both PBKDF 1 & 2 in the same article, in which case we might consider renaming this article PBKDF2 -> PBKDF. — Matt Crypto 19:56, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
However PBKDF2 pretty much obsoleted PBKDF1, so I suppose it v1 merits a historical footnote in PBKDF2 and not its own article. jett 18:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
