Key-derivation function

Definition(s):

  As used in this Recommendation, a function used to derive secret keying material from a shared secret (or a key) and other information.
Source(s):
NIST SP 800-56B Rev. 2 under Key-derivation function

  A function that − with the input of a cryptographic key or shared secret and possibly other data − generates a binary string, called keying material.
Source(s):
