BCrypt Hash a Password

See more Encryption Examples

Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Objective-C

#import <CkoCrypt2.h>
#import <NSString.h>

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

CkoCrypt2 *crypt = [[CkoCrypt2 alloc] init];

//  The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
//  The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
//  to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
//  if the default value of 10 is desired.
crypt.BCryptWorkFactor = [NSNumber numberWithInt:10];

NSString *bcryptHash = [crypt BCryptHash: @"mySecretPassword"];
NSLog(@"%@%@",@"BCrypt hash = ",bcryptHash);

//  Sample output:
//  BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

//  Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
//  automatically generates a random salt.
