pub fn pbkdf2_simple(password: &str, c: u32) -> Result<String>Expand description
pbkdf2_simple is a helper function that should be sufficient for the majority of cases where an application needs to use PBKDF2 to hash a password for storage. The result is a String that contains the parameters used as part of its encoding. The pbkdf2_check function may be used on a password to check if it is equal to a hashed value.
§Format
The format of the output is a modified version of the Modular Crypt Format that encodes algorithm used and iteration count. The format is indicated as “rpbkdf2” which is short for “Rust PBKF2 format.”
$rpbkdf2$0$<base64(c)>$<base64(salt)>$<based64(hash)>$
§Arguments
- password - The password to process as a str
- c - The iteration count
