Node.js crypto.hkdfSync( ) Method

Last Updated : 08 Apr, 2021

This method provides a synchronous HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function key derivation. Key of keylen bytes is derived using digest, given key, salt and info.

Syntax:

crypto.hkdfSync(digest, key, salt, info, keylen)

Parameters: This method has five parameters.

digest: It must be string.
key: Minimum lengths — 1 byte, It is of type string, Buffer,ArrayBuffer, TypedArray, KeyObject or DataView.
salt: It must be provided but can be zero-length and unique. It can be of type string, ArrayBuffer, Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView.
info: It must be provided but can be zero-length and cannot be more than 1024 bytes. It is of type string, Buffer,ArrayBuffer, TypedArray, KeyObject or DataView.
keylen: It is the length of the key to generate and must be greater than 0. It must b of type number.

Return Type: Returns derived key int the form of buffer.

Example 1:

app.js

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
//  crypto.hkdfSync() Method.

// // Including crypto module 
import crypto from 'crypto'

//Implementing hkdfSync()
const Key = crypto.hkdfSync('sha512', 'key', 'salt', 'info', 64);

// Prints Buffer.
console.log(Key);

Output:

ArrayBuffer {
 [Uint8Contents]: <24 15 6e 2c 35 52 5b
