Examples

Hash a password using PBKDF2 algorithm (5000 iteration)

     Define_Com Class(#PRIM_DC.UnicodeString) Name(#PasswordString)
     Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_Binary) Name(#PasswordBytes)
     Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_Binary) Name(#HashBytes)
     Define_Com Class(#XPRIM_Crypto_Hash) Name(#HashGenerator)
     . . .

           * Assume #PasswordString contains the password to hash

           * Convert password string (#PasswordString) into bytes

     #PasswordBytes.FromStringUsingUTF8 String(#PasswordString)

           * Set algorithm to PBKDF2, using 5000 iteration

     #HashGenerator.UsePBKDF2 Iteration(5000)

           * Calculate hash

     #HashGenerator.Compute Input(#PasswordBytes) Result(#HashBytes)

           * Get hash value as Base64 string, and put in #HASH field

     #HASH := #HashBytes.AsBase64String
