Description Alicja Kario 2017-06-16 17:27:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
When PKCS#12 file is created using pk12util, it uses hmacWithSHA1 as the PRF for PBKDF2 and only 2000 iterations of that function.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.28.4-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
export PKCS#12 file from NSS db using pk12util -o, inspect using openssl pkcs12 or openssl asn1parse

Actual results:
PBKDF2 always uses SHA1 and always uses 2000 iterations

Expected results:
default to SHA256 and higher number of iterations (a million or so, optimally dependent on the speed of CPU)

processing times for different ciphers

It will now take about 2s to export key on a 2.6GHz Haswell machine with default settings.
3s if both key and certificate is encrypted with AES-256-CBC.

that seems to me like acceptable performance
