Public Methods

Method	Description
GenerateSalt ( int explicitIterations = null ) : string	Generates a salt that can be used to generate a password hash. The salt is a combination of a block of bytes to represent the salt entropy and an integer that represents the interation count to feed into the RFC289 algorithm used to derive the password hash. The iterations count is used to slow down the hash generating alrogithm to mitigate brute force and rainbow table attacks.
Hash ( string value, string salt ) : string	Generates the password hash from the password and salt. THe salt must be in the format iterations.salt.

Method Details

GenerateSalt() public static method

Generates a salt that can be used to generate a password hash. The salt is a combination of a block of bytes to represent the salt entropy and an integer that represents the interation count to feed into the RFC289 algorithm used to derive the password hash. The iterations count is used to slow down the hash generating alrogithm to mitigate brute force and rainbow table attacks.

public static GenerateSalt ( int explicitIterations = null ) : string
explicitIterations	int	The number of iterations used to derive the password bytes. Must be greater than the constant specifying the minimum iterations.
return	string

Hash() public static method

Generates the password hash from the password and salt. THe salt must be in the format iterations.salt.

public static Hash ( string value, string salt ) : string
value	string	The value to generate a hash for.
salt	string	The salt (and iteration count) to generate the hash with.
return	string
