How to hash/encrypt a password

Ger Cannoll — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 07:27:02 GMT

I have a small form (not based on Strataframe Form) and I have a Password that I want to Hash Similar to the way the SF User password is encrypted.

Is it possible to Hash it (and Unhash it later ) by calling a SF Method . Some code (c#) would be helpful

We use the MicroFour.StrataFrame.Security.SecurityBasics.SecurityKey and .SecurityKeyVector properties to allow you to specify the key and vector for the CryptoTransform we use. They are both a byte array and you can set them to anything or use the .GetSecurityKey() and .GetSecurityKeyVector() methods to generate ones for you from a given string. In those methods, we just hash your given key and choose a certain set of bytes from the hash for the key and vector.

Hi Ivan. Thanks for that

Dim encryptedContents()As Byte =loEncrypt.Encrypt(contents)

....seems to be the line I am looking for

I though that a Seed was required ...... how does this line know what the seed is ?
