Generates a new Password object using the PBKDF2 algorithm with the provided password and salt.

Definition

Namespace: CapyKit.Helpers
Assembly: CapyKit (in CapyKit.dll) Version: 1.0.2

C#

public static Password Pbkdf2(
	string password,
	byte[] salt
)

F#

static member Pbkdf2 : 
        password : string * 
        salt : byte[] -> Password 

Parameters

  String

The clear text password to be hashed.

  Byte[]

A random value used to add an additional layer of security to the generated hash.

Return Value

Password
A new Password object containing the hashed password and salt.

Remarks

This method uses the PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) algorithm to generate a new password hash. The algorithm iteratively applies a pseudorandom function to the password and salt, which increases the security of the resulting hash.
