KeyDerivationAlgorithmNames.Pbkdf2Sha1 Property

Definition

Retrieves a string that contains "PBKDF2_SHA1".

public static string Pbkdf2Sha1 { get; }

Property Value

String

String that contains "PBKDF2_SHA1".

Remarks

Use the string retrieved by this property to set the Key Derivation Function (KDF) name when you call the OpenAlgorithm method on the KeyDerivationAlgorithmProvider class. The string represents a Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) algorithm that uses a Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) based on the SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) message digest algorithm as the underlying pseudorandom function.

To use this KDF, you must specify the appropriate salt value and iteration count by calling the BuildForPbkdf2 method on the KeyDerivationParameters class before calling the CreateKey method to derive a key.
