+Package pbkdf2 implements the key derivation function PBKDF2 as defined in RFC
+2898 / PKCS #5 v2.0.
+
+A key derivation function is useful when encrypting data based on a password
+or any other not-fully-random data. It uses a pseudorandom function to derive
+a secure encryption key based on the password.
+
+While v2.0 of the standard defines only one pseudorandom function to use,
+HMAC-SHA1, the drafted v2.1 specification allows use of all five FIPS Approved
+Hash Functions SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 for HMAC. To
+choose, you can pass the `New` functions from the different SHA packages to
+pbkdf2.Key.

+// Key derives a key from the password, salt and iteration count, returning a
+// []byte of length keylen that can be used as cryptographic key. The key is
+// derived based on the method described as PBKDF2 with the HMAC variant using
+// the supplied hash function.
+//
+// For example, to use a HMAC-SHA-1 based PBKDF2 key derivation function, you
+// can get a derived key for e.g. AES-256 (which needs a 32-byte key) by
+// doing:
+//
+// 	dk := pbkdf2.Key([]byte("some password"), salt, 4096, 32, sha1.New)
+//
+// Remember to get a good random salt. At least 8 bytes is recommended by the
+// RFC.
+//
+// Using a higher iteration count will increase the cost of an exhaustive
+// search but will also make derivation proportionally slower.
