Generate Salt in Hex or Base64 Format

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a cryptographic salt value and get the result as hex or base64. Go

    // In cryptography, a salt is random data that is used as an additional input to a one-way function that "hashes" data, a password or passphrase.

    // Let's say we want to generate a 16-byte salt value..
    prng := chilkat.NewPrng()

    saltHex := prng.GenRandom(16,"hex")
    fmt.Println("16-byte salt as hex: ", *saltHex)

    saltBase64 := prng.GenRandom(16,"base64")
    fmt.Println("16-byte salt as base64: ", *saltBase64)

    prng.DisposePrng()
