These are according to the HKDF spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5869 There is a extract and a expand phase. The salt (aka 'label') is used in the extract phase: HKDF-Extract(salt, IKM) -> PRK salt optional salt value (a non-secret random value); if not provided, it is set to a string of HashLen zeros. and the info (aka 'context') is used in the expand phase: HKDF-Expand(PRK, info, L) -> OKM info optional context and application specific information (can be a zero-length string)

Please note that In addition, HKDF-CRT was replaced with HKDF, and I already addressed it with #54 |

Thanks for the heads up. Thats interesting as the the RFC defines it as optional. Your PR is probably better then. Unfortunately it seems the maintainer has no interest in merging these PRs anytime soon. |
