[openssl-users] Password based key derivation

Hi, Any help on following questions is appreciated. 1) Can the function PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1() in 0.9.8zf be used to derive a key for AES-256-CBC encryption from user supplied passphrase? 2) Is PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1() preferable to EVP_BytesToKey() and why ? I see
