3 * Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function (HKDF). A cryptographicly
4 * secure key expansion function based on RFC 5869.
6 * This relies on the secrecy of $wgSecretKey (by default), or $wgHKDFSecret.
7 * By default, sha256 is used as the underlying hashing algorithm, but any other
8 * algorithm can be used. Finding the secret key from the output would require
9 * an attacker to discover the input key (the PRK) to the hmac that generated
10 * the output, and discover the particular data, hmac'ed with an evolving key
11 * (salt), to produce the PRK. Even with md5, no publicly known attacks make
12 * this currently feasible.

227 * HKDF(XTS, SKM, CTXinfo, L) = K(1) || K(2) || ... || K(t)
228 * where the values K(i) are defined as follows:
229 * PRK = HMAC(XTS, SKM)

231 * K(i+1) = HMAC(PRK, K(i) || CTXinfo || i), 1 <= i < t;
232 * where t = [L/k] and the value K(t) is truncated to its first d = L mod k bits;
233 * the counter i is non-wrapping and of a given fixed size, e.g., a single byte.
234 * Note that the length of the HMAC output is the same as its key length and therefore
235 * the scheme is well defined.
237 * XTS is the "extractor salt"
