```
public class S2K
extends BCPGObject
```
Parameter specifier for the PGP string-to-key password based key derivation function. There are different S2K modes:
- In SIMPLE mode, a single iteration of the hash algorithm is performed to derived a key from the given passphrase. This mode is deprecated and MUST NOT be generated.
- The SALTED mode is like SIMPLE, but uses an additional salt value. This mode is deprecated and MUST NOT be generated.
- In SALTED_AND_ITERATED mode, S2K takes a single byte iteration count specifier, which is converted to an actual iteration count using a formula that grows the iteration count exponentially as the byte value increases. e.g. 0x01 == 1088 iterations, and 0xFF == 65,011,712 iterations.
- The SALTED_AND_ITERATED mode uses both iteration and a salt value. This mode is recommended for applications that want to stay backwards compatible.
- The new ARGON_2 mode does key derivation using salted Argon2, which is a memory-hard hash algorithm. This mode is generally recommended over SALTED_AND_ITERATED.

- Field Detail
  - SIMPLE
```
public static final int SIMPLE
```
    Deprecated. use SALTED_AND_ITERATED or ARGON_2 instead.
    
    Simple key generation. A single non-salted iteration of a hash function. This method is deprecated to use, since it can be brute-forced when used with a low-entropy string, such as those typically provided by users. Additionally, the usage of Simple S2K can lead to key and IV reuse. Therefore, in OpenPGP v6, Therefore, when generating an S2K specifier, an implementation MUST NOT use Simple S2K.

```
public static final int SALTED
```
    Deprecated. use SALTED_AND_ITERATED or ARGON_2 instead.
    
    Salted key generation. A single iteration of a hash function with a (unique) salt. This method is deprecated to use, since it can be brute-forced when used with a low-entropy string, such as those typically provided by users. Therefore, in OpenPGP v6, an implementation SHOULD NOT generate a Salted S2K, unless the implementation knows that the input string is high-entropy.

```
public static final int SALTED_AND_ITERATED
