CrypterCrypt Method (String, String) | CryptSharp |
Creates a one-way password hash (crypted password) from a password string and a salt string.
The salt can be produced using GenerateSalt(CrypterOptions).
Because crypted passwords take the form algorithm+salt+hash, if you pass
a crypted password as the salt parameter, the same algorithm and salt will be used to re-crypt the
password. Since randomness comes from the salt, the same salt means the same hash, and so the
same crypted password will result. Therefore, this method can both generate *and* verify crypted passwords.
