Password_Digest = Base64 (SHA-1 ( nonce + created + SHA-1 (password) ) )

Demonstrates how to compute:

Password_Digest = Base64 (SHA-1 ( nonce + created + SHA-1 (password)))

Visual Basic 6.0

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim password As String
password = "secret"

Dim crypt As New ChilkatCrypt2
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "SHA-1"
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"

' Generate a 16-byte random nonce
Dim prng As New ChilkatPrng
Dim bd As New ChilkatBinData
success = prng.GenRandomBd(16,bd)

' Get the current date/time in a string with this format: 2010-06-08T07:26:50Z
Dim dt As New CkDateTime
success = dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
Dim created As String
created = dt.GetAsTimestamp(0)
success = bd.AppendString(created,"utf-8")

' This example wishes to calculate a password digest like this:
' Password_Digest = Base64 ( SHA-1 ( nonce + created + SHA-1(password) ) )

' First SHA-1 digest the password...
Dim passwordSha1 As String
passwordSha1 = crypt.HashStringENC(password)
' Append the 20 binary bytes of the SHA1 hash to bd, which already contains the nonce and created date/time.
success = bd.AppendEncoded(passwordSha1,"base64")

Dim passwordDigest As String
passwordDigest = crypt.HashBdENC(bd)

Debug.Print "Base64 password digest = " & passwordDigest
