Description vijaybh 2014-03-03 21:17:13 UTC 
The password parameter in Pbkdf2Params seems to be useless. We should remove it and instead add the following two methods to the PBKDF2 section:

- Use generateKey to generate a new password. UA will gather password from the user through some UI and put it in the Key object. We should define an encoding method for the password, UTF8 seems reasonable.

- Use importKey with type raw to programmatically create a Key object with a given password. We could let the script pick whatever encoding it wants for keyData.
