SimpleHashing


Library that makes hashing with PBKDF2 simple and easy.

string hash = PBKDF2.Hash("12345");
byte[] hash2 = PBKDF2.Hash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("12345"));

bool PBKDF2.Verify(hash,"12345");//true
bool PBKDF2.Verify(hash,Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("421"));//false

Security

SimpleHashing is a library made on top of System.Security.Cryptography.Rfc2898DeriveBytes and uses a secure random 16 byte salt. PBKDF2 isn't the best algorithm for password hashing(but the best one avaible in the c# System.Securety namespace), but is still a good hashing algorithm. (With many iterations) Take a look at scrypt or argon2 for password hashing.
