A set of high-level APIs over PointyCastle to hash and verify passwords securely.
Heavily inspired on PHP's Password Hashing Functions.

Looking for two-way cryptography (encryption+decryption)? Please, visit encrypt.

API #
Password.hash #
Password.hash('password', new PBKDF2());

Defaults #
In almost cases, you should rely on default PRNG for salts. It is cryptographically secure and unique for each password.
On the other hand, you are encouraged to change interations count for what your hardware can handle.
