#### **HKDF Security Properties**
|
||||
- **RFC 5869 Compliance:** Full adherence to HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function standard
|
||||
- **Proper Key Separation:** Each derived key uses unique `info` parameter to prevent key reuse
|
||||
- **Salt Security:** 64-byte cryptographically secure salt for each derivation
|
||||
- **Non-Extractable Keys:** All operational keys are hardware-protected and non-exportable
|
||||
- **Forward Secrecy:** Independent key derivation for each session prevents key compromise propagation
|
||||
- **Algorithm Consistency:** SHA-256 hash function for optimal compatibility and performance
