crypto-PBKDF2

crypto.js' PBKDF2 standalone implementation for npm.

Usage (based on Stack Exchange's PBKDF2 implementation):

var CryptoJS = require("crypto-PBKDF2");

var DEFAULT_HASH_ITERATIONS = 4000;

var SALT_SIZE: 192/8;

var KEY_SIZE = 768/32;

/**
 * Convenience wrapper around CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.random to grab a new salt value.
 * Treat this value as opaque, as it captures iterations.
 *
 * @param {number} explicitIterations An integer
 * @return {string} Return iterations and salt together as one string ({hex-iterations}.{base64-salt})
*/
