## Usage

```js
var pbkdf2 = require('pbkdf2')
var derivedKey = pbkdf2.pbkdf2Sync('password', 'salt', 1, 32, 'sha512')

...
```

For more information on the API, please see the relevant [Node documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_pbkdf2_password_salt_iterations_keylen_digest_callback).

For high performance, use the `async` variant (`pbkdf2.pbkdf2`), not `pbkdf2.pbkdf2Sync`; this variant has the oppurtunity to use `window.crypto.subtle` when browserified.
