Verify an Argon2 Password with a Secret and Memory Guard
Demonstrates Crypt2.Argon2VerifyPassword when the hash was created with a secret (pepper) or ad, and the use of maxMemoryKb to guard against untrusted hash strings.
Background. Only the
secret, ad, encoding, passwordCharset, and maxMemoryKb options are used during verification; everything else is ignored. Because the memory cost is taken from the hash string, setting maxMemoryKb for hashes from an untrusted source prevents an enormous claimed cost from exhausting memory; it is checked before any allocation. The method returns 1 for a match, 0 for no match, and -1 if the verification could not be performed; always test for a match with == 1.Chilkat Delphi DLL Downloads
