    • generate

      public static byte[] generate(byte[] P, byte[] S, int N, int r, int p, int dkLen)
      Generate a key using the scrypt key derivation function.
      Parameters:
      P - the bytes of the pass phrase.
      S - the salt to use for this invocation.
      N - CPU/Memory cost parameter. Must be larger than 1, a power of 2 and less than 2^(128 * r / 8).
      r - the block size, must be >= 1.
      p - Parallelization parameter. Must be a positive integer less than or equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE / (128 * r * 8).
      dkLen - the length of the key to generate.
      Returns:
      the generated key.
