Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC

Returns the PBKDF2 hash value of the data, first applying the salt value and using the specified hashAlgorithm.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example	Flags
salt	The key text to use.	"Hello"
password	The data text to use.	"World"
iterations	Number of loops that the hash algorithm does.	100
desiredHashLength	Number of bytes that you want the resulting hash to be. 16 or 32 bytes are commonly used.	32
hashAlgorithm	The hash algorithm. Can be MD5, SHA1, SHA256 or SHA512.	"MD5"
Flags	Various flags you can combine by addition. Pass 1 for getting result Base64 encoded instead of Hex encoded. Pass 2 if salt is Hex encoded and plugin should decode it first. Pass 4 if password is hex encoded and plugin should decode it first.	0	Optional

Result

Returns the hash or error.

Description

Examples

Calculate password hash:

MBS( "Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC"; "Hello"; "World"; 100; 32; "SHA512")

Example result: 2CFDC277C8B84693B85E18D5A0176249EF29B74DFFDF2EE6826636F5ACBF70D0

Use SHA-3 here:

MBS( "Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC"; "Hello"; "World"; 100; 32; "RSA-SHA3-256")

Release notes

• Version 10.3
  • Added option to Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC to pass digest names returned by Encryption.DigestNames function, so SHA3 works.
