Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC

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

Component	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	Server	FileMaker iOS SDK
Hash	3.3	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

MBS( "Hash.PBKDF2.HMAC"; salt; password; iterations; desiredHashLength; hashAlgorithm { ; Flags } ) More

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

Parameter	Description	Example	Flags

Result

Returns the hash or error.

Description

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

Same as Crypto.PBKDF2 in Xojo (Real Studio):

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")
