"""Exporter for the vault native configuration format (v0.2 or v0.3).

The vault native formats are the configuration formats used by vault
v0.2 and v0.3.  The configuration is stored as a single encrypted file,
which is encrypted and authenticated.  v0.2 and v0.3 differ in some
details concerning key derivation and expected format of internal
structures, so they are *not* compatible.  v0.2 additionally contains
cryptographic weaknesses (API misuse of a key derivation function, and
a low-entropy method of generating initialization vectors for CBC block
encryption mode) and should thus be avoided if possible.

The public interface is the [`export_vault_native_data`][] function.
Multiple *non-public* classes are additionally documented here for
didactical and educational reasons, but they are not part of the module
API, are subject to change without notice (including removal), and
should *not* be used or relied on.

        """Reimplement OpenSSL's `EVP_BytesToKey` with fixed parameters.

`EVP_BytesToKey` in general is a key derivation function,
        i.e., a function that derives key material from an input
        byte string.  `EVP_BytesToKey` conceptually splits the
        derived key material into an encryption key and an
        initialization vector (IV).

Note: Algorithm description
            `EVP_BytesToKey` takes an input byte string, two output
            size (encryption key size and IV size), a message digest
            function, a salt value and an iteration count.  The
            derived key material is calculated in blocks, each of
            which is the output of (iterated application of) the
            message digest function.  The input to the message
            digest function is the concatenation of the previous
            block (if any) with the input byte string and the salt
            value (if any):

~~~~ python
            data = block_input = b"".join([previous_block, input_string, salt])
            for i in range(iteration_count):
                data = message_digest(data)
            block = data
            ~~~~

We use as many blocks as are necessary to cover the
            total output byte string size.  The first few bytes
            (dictated by the encryption key size) form the
            encryption key, the other bytes (dictated by the IV
            size) form the IV.

We implement exactly the subset of `EVP_BytesToKey` that the
        Node.js `crypto` library (v21 series and older) uses in its
        implementation of `crypto.createCipher("aes256", password)`.
        Specifically, the message digest function is fixed to MD5,
        the salt is always empty, and the iteration count is fixed
        at one.

Returns:
            A 2-tuple containing the derived encryption key and the
            derived initialization vector.
