Iterations Property

The number of iterations to perform.

Syntax

property Iterations: Integer read get_Iterations write set_Iterations;

Default Value

10000

Remarks

This property specifies the number of iterations to perform when deriving the key. Larger values require more time to derive a key, however they also make password cracking more difficult by increasing the amount of time required to derive each key.

The recommended minimum number of iterations is 1000, and larger values such as 10,000 are common. The default value is 10000.
