$oCrypt = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Crypt2")

Local $sPw = "password"

Local $sPwCharset = "utf-8"

; Such as sha256, sha512
Local $sHashAlg = "sha256"

; 16 bytes
Local $saltHex = "78578E5A5D63CB0668AB39B21C8637FA"

Local $iterationCount = 100000

; Derive a 256-bit key from the password.
Local $iOutputBitLen = 256

; The derived key is returned as a hex or base64 encoded string.
; (Note: The salt argument must be a string that also uses
; the same encoding.)
Local $sEnc = "hex"

Local $sHexKey = $oCrypt.Pbkdf2($sPw,$sPwCharset,$sHashAlg,$saltHex,$iterationCount,$iOutputBitLen,$sEnc)
