MD5-PBE for DES-CBC

MD5-PBE for DES-CBC, denoted CKM_PBE_MD5_DES_CBC, is a mechanism used for generating a DES secret key and an IV from a password and a salt value by using the MD5 digest algorithm and an iteration count. This functionality is defined in PKCS#5 as PBKDF1.

It has a parameter, a CK_PBE_PARAMS structure. The parameter specifies the input information for the key generation process and the location of the application-supplied buffer which will receive the 8-byte IV generated by the mechanism.
