Hello,
I have to encrypt password in BCrypt, in the form "$2a$11$...".
Do you know the method?
I used the Topwiz app (http://www.topwizprogramming.com/freecode_bcrypt.html), but I can not do it.
Best regards,

Hi Frederic;

  FWIW: The "BCrypt" encryption type is also referred to as "BlowFish". If that is the encryption mechanism that you need, PB2017R3 now supports this natively in the new built-in SymmetricEncrypt command.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

This is a commercial ActiveX control that supports Blowfish. All of the Chilkat ActiveX controls are supported in PowerBuilder.

My example is called BCrypt because Microsoft named the API functions starting with BCrypt and they are in bcrypt.dll.

The Microsoft API doesn't support the bcrypt hashing scheme. A rather unfortunate naming choice on Microsoft's part.

The letter b in the bcrypt hashing scheme stands for Blowfish. I have no idea how Microsoft came to use the same name for what is officially called: Cryptography API: Next Generation.

Hi Mr. Smith,
The hash must be 60 characters.

For example: the hash of the password "my password" will give
$2a$11$gbWYfHwl2sCD2NQgx.4LDOCEtuiwOJUxqqi5mRePl4iuKTTqHiV7e

See the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

Thank you for your patience
