Examples

The following code example creates a key from a password using the PasswordDeriveBytes class.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography;
using namespace System::Text;

// Generates a random salt value of the specified length.

    if (length >= 1)
    {
        randomBytes = gcnew array <Byte>(length);
    }
    else
    {
        randomBytes = gcnew array <Byte>(1);
    }

    // Create a new RandomNumberGenerator.
    RandomNumberGenerator^ randomNumberGenerator =
        RandomNumberGenerator::Create();

    // Fill the buffer with random bytes.
    randomNumberGenerator->GetBytes(randomBytes);

    // return the bytes.
    return randomBytes;
}

// Clears the bytes in a buffer so they can't later be read from memory.
void ClearBytes(array<Byte>^ buffer)
{
    // Check arguments.
    if (buffer == nullptr)
    {
        throw gcnew ArgumentNullException("buffer");

Remarks

This class uses an extension of the PBKDF1 algorithm defined in the PKCS#5 v2.0 standard to derive bytes suitable for use as key material from a password. The standard is documented in IETF RRC 2898.

Important

Never hard-code a password within your source code. Hard coded passwords can be retrieved from an assembly using the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler) tool, a hex editor, or by simply opening up the assembly in a text editor like notepad.exe.
