Description

Simple cryptography library that wraps complex hashing algorithms for quick and simple usage.

Usage

You may download the source and build the project or install it directly from NuGet.

If building the source, please reference the following file in your .net project:

SimpleCrypto.dll

Hash Password Example:

ICryptoService cryptoService = new PBKDF2();

//New User
string password = "password";

//save this salt to the database
string salt = cryptoService.GenerateSalt();

//save this hash to the database
string hashedPassword = cryptoService.Compute(password);
            
//validate user
//compare the password (this should be true since we are rehashing the same password and using the same generated salt)
string hashedPassword2 = cryptoService.Compute(password, salt);
bool isPasswordValid = cryptoService.Compare(hashedPassword, hashedPassword2);

Generate Random Password Example:

//generate uppercase passwords only
string password = RandomPassword.Generate(PasswordGroup.Uppercase);
 
//generate both upper case and lower passwords only
string password = RandomPassword.Generate(PasswordGroup.Uppercase, PasswordGroup.Lowercase);

//generate 10 character uppercase passwords only
string password = RandomPassword.Generate(10, PasswordGroup.Uppercase);
