何时使用此配方

Demonstrates passphrase-based key derivation for user-facing encryption. Users remember the passphrase, the system derives the cryptographic key.

常见问题

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.
