PBKDF2, or Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2, is a key derivation function that is used to derive cryptographic keys from a password. It is designed to be computationally intensive and to incorporate a salt and iteration count to enhance security, making it more resilient against brute-force attacks and rainbow table attacks.
