PBKDF2

A password-based key derivation function that increases the cost of brute-force attacks through repeated hash iterations. It is commonly used for password storage and encryption key generation.

PBKDF2 stretches a user passphrase into a fixed-length encryption key through multiple rounds of hash iteration (typically 100,000 or more), increasing the computational cost of offline brute-force enumeration.

Common approaches to implementing E2EE include deriving keys from passwords (such as PBKDF2 or Argon2) followed by AES-256-GCM encryption, or using Signal Protocol's Double Ratchet Algorithm.

1Password uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 combined with a proprietary Secret Key mechanism, in which a 128-bit local key and the master password jointly participate in derivation.
