DeriveKey Method

Generates a strong cryptographic key from a password.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DeriveKey(int iKeyBits, const char* lpszPassword, const char* lpszSalt);

Unicode (Windows)
INT DeriveKey(INT iKeyBits, LPCWSTR lpszPassword, LPCWSTR lpszSalt);
- (void)deriveKey:(int)keyBits :(NSString*)password :(NSString*)salt;
#define MID_CRYPTOKEYMANAGER_DERIVEKEY 3

SECUREBLACKBOXLITE_EXTERNAL int SECUREBLACKBOXLITE_CALL SecureBlackboxLite_CryptoKeyManager_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

Use this method to generate a cryptographically strong key of a needed length from a password.

This method uses a general-purpose PBKDF2 function with PRF1 and 2048 iterations.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
