BCrypt Hash a Password

See more Encryption Examples

Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const crypt = try chilkat.Crypt2.init();
    defer crypt.deinit();

    // 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.setBCryptWorkFactor(10);

    const bcrypt_hash = try crypt.bCryptHash(alloc, "mySecretPassword");
    std.debug.print("BCrypt hash = {s}\n", .{bcrypt_hash});

    // 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.
