PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA2 test vectors

Question

There are test vectors for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1 in RFC6070. There are test vectors for HMAC-SHA2 in RFC4231.

But so far I haven't found test vectors for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA2 anywhere.

I'm most interested in SHA256, so I'll post some vectors I calculated with my implementation. I'd be happy if someone could verify/confirm them, or contribute their own.

Answer 1

I implemented PBKDF2 using the standard hashlib and hmac modules in Python and checked the output against both the RFC 6070 vectors and the vectors you posted – it matches.

Here are the vectors I get with a larger dkLen to match the larger digest output size. This is the output of pbkdf2-test-vectors.py sha256, which takes about 10 minutes to run.
