Change password-based key derivation ID to `PBKDF2` #6

Closed dlongley closed 8 years ago

dlongley commented 9 years ago

The code currently identifies the password-based key derivation method as "PKCS5" (see: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/loginhub/blob/bf2e0d0545df632a5205ca623e324d19010f3c7e/components/main.js#L79).

PKCS#5, however, describes multiple pbkd functions, so this is unclear. We should be using PBKDF2, which refers to the specific function we use and is also the algorithm identifier used by the WebCrypto API: http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#pbkdf2
