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. React Native

import { Prng } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // 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..
  const prng = new Prng();

  const saltHex = prng.genRandom(16, 'hex');
  console.log(`16-byte salt as hex: ${saltHex}`);

  const saltBase64 = prng.genRandom(16, 'base64');
  console.log(`16-byte salt as base64: ${saltBase64}`);
}
