Go implementation of bcrypt_pbkdf(3) from OpenBSD
(a variant of PBKDF2 with bcrypt-based PRF).

USAGE

func Key(password, salt []byte, rounds, keyLen int) ([]byte, error)


Key derives a key from the password, salt and rounds count, returning a
[]byte of length keyLen that can be used as cryptographic key.

Remember to get a good random salt of at least 16 bytes. Using a higher
rounds count will increase the cost of an exhaustive search but will also
make derivation proportionally slower.
