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

Dim crypt As ChilkatCrypt2
crypt.Initialize("crypt")

'  The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
'  The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
'  to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
'  if the default value of 10 is desired.
crypt.BCryptWorkFactor = 10

Dim bcryptHash As String = crypt.BCryptHash("mySecretPassword")
Log("BCrypt hash = " & bcryptHash)

'  Sample output:
'  BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

'  Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
'  automatically generates a random salt.
