What is Derivation: Definition and 1000 Discussions
In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic hash function that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a main key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function. KDFs can be used to stretch keys into longer keys or to obtain keys of a required format, such as converting a group element that is the result of a Diffie–Hellman key exchange into a symmetric key for use with AES. Keyed cryptographic hash functions are popular examples of pseudorandom functions used for key derivation.

Hi everyone,
Anybody knows if the photon energy (frequency * Planck's constant) can be derived from more basic physical principles or this formula was "invented" to explain the photo-electric effect or black body radiation?
If you know a way to derive it, please share.
Thanks a lot !
