Oct 18, 2013 at 19:47 comment added Paŭlo Ebermann For password based keys derivation (i.e. where the input entropy is significantly below your key size), you should better use a slow hash function instead of any fast one like SHA-256.
Oct 11, 2013 at 15:40 comment added e-sushi @stUrb Absolutely correct. That's one of many reasons why I recommended it… ;) As noted, remember to set that 3rd parameter to TRUE to be sure you get binary instead of hex characters in your $sleutel. (Btw.: Vlaams of Nederlands? In ieder geval, graag gedaan!)

Oct 11, 2013 at 15:37 comment added stUrb Wow. Thank you e-sushi for this elaborate answer! Am I correct that with your recommended solution I always will produce a correct size key, no matter the size of $this-sleutel.$this->userKey ?
