With it, we use an RNG (random number generator) that is as random as possible.
RNGCryptoServiceProvider generates high-quality random numbers. Salt is just another random number which is generated by RNGCryptoServiceProvider class. Using (RNGCryptoServiceProvider saltGenerator = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider()) – Generating Salt key internal static byte GenerateSalt(int saltByteSize = SaltByteSize)
Private const int HasingIterationsCount = 10101 īyte size we are using for password salt and hash in 24 byte i.e. Required variable initialization // 24 = 192 bits This is great for protecting passwords because we want to store the password in the form that protects them even if the password itself is compromised.
If the input changes by even a tiny bit, the resulting hash is completely different. They turn any amount of data into a fixed-length “fingerprint” that cannot be reversed. Hashing algorithms are a one-way functions.
