Syntax

public class KeyDerivation
class Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation.KeyDerivation

Methods

Pbkdf2(System.String, System.Byte[], Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation.KeyDerivationPrf, System.Int32, System.Int32)

Performs key derivation using the PBKDF2 algorithm.

Arguments:
  • password (System.String) – The password from which to derive the key.
  • salt (System.Byte<System.Byte>[]) – The salt to be used during the key derivation process.
  • prf (Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation.KeyDerivationPrf) – The pseudo-random function to be used in the key derivation process.
  • iterationCount (System.Int32) – The number of iterations of the pseudo-random function to apply during the key derivation process.
  • numBytesRequested (System.Int32) – The desired length (in bytes) of the derived key.
Return type:

System.Byte<System.Byte>[]
Returns:

The derived key.
