Generate Salt in Hex or Base64 Format

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a cryptographic salt value and get the result as hex or base64. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // In cryptography, a salt is random data that is used as an additional input to a one-way function that "hashes" data, a password or passphrase.

  // Let's say we want to generate a 16-byte salt value..
  final prng = CkPrng();

  final saltHex = prng.genRandom(16, 'hex');
  print('16-byte salt as hex: $saltHex');

  final saltBase64 = prng.genRandom(16, 'base64');
  print('16-byte salt as base64: $saltBase64');
}
