Hello,

this new draft investigates key derivation functions and their uses.    
Please send your comments to [email-masked].  KDFs are an important  
topic because of HKDF and because of other standards work (including  
NIST's proposed transitions in SP 800-131).

regards,

David

> Abstract:
> This note surveys the existing designs for Key Derivation Functions
> (KDFs), the purposes for which they are used, and their security and
> usability goals.  Importantly, some important protocols use KDFs for
> multiple purposes.  We offer conclusions to guide future standards
> work and research on KDFs.
