WPA Key Calculation from PassPhrase to Hex

Demonstrates how to calculate a WPA key from a passprhase and network SSID. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

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

    CkCrypt2 crypt = new CkCrypt2();

    String wpaHexKey;

    // The "ps" is the WPA passphrase
    String pw = "password";
    String pwCharset = "ansi";

    // Hash algorithms may be: sha1, md2, md5, etc.
    String hashAlg = "sha1";

    // Specify the SSID in hex:
    // For example, if the SSID is "ABC", then the 
    // hex values for these us-ascii chars is "414243"
    String ssidHex = "414243";

    // The WPA key calculation will always use 4096 iterations.

    // The WPA hex output should be 256 bits.

    // Indicate that "hex" is to be returned.
