Passphrase to Key Derivation
Generate a secure passphrase, hash it to derive a key, and use the key for HMAC signing.
इस रेसिपी का उपयोग कब करें
Demonstrates passphrase-based key derivation for user-facing encryption. Users remember the passphrase, the system derives the cryptographic key.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Why use a passphrase instead of a random key?
Passphrases are human-memorable. A 6-word diceware passphrase has ~77 bits of entropy — strong enough for most applications while being something users can remember.
Should I use SHA-256 for key derivation in production?
No. Use PBKDF2, scrypt, or Argon2 which add computational cost (iterations/memory) to resist brute-force. This recipe uses SHA-256 for demonstration only.
