your application, read *Appendix A.2.2* of NIST-SP-800-132_. The answers
on the `stackexchange pbkdf2 iterations question`_ explain in detail.
*dklen* is the length of the derived key. If *dklen* is ``None`` then the
*dklen* is the length of the derived key in bytes. If *dklen* is ``None`` then the
digest size of the hash algorithm *hash_name* is used, e.g. 64 for SHA-512.
