Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-9.5.0-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

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

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2

# 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

$bcryptHash = $crypt.BCryptHash("mySecretPassword")
$("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.
