- WLanguage properties that can be used with the SecurePassword type
SecurePassword (Type of variable) In french: MotDePasseSécurisé
The SecurePassword type is a structured type used to obtain a secure, hashed and salted password. This type of variable can be used: - for 3-tier applications that handle items of type Password.
- to store a secure password (hashed and salted) in a binary memo or in an XML file.
oSP is SecurePassword
oSP.Hash = SP_SHA2_256
oSP.IterationCount = 10000
oSP.Size = 256
oSP = "hello"
Syntax
Declaring and initializing a secure password Hide the details
<Password name> is SecurePassword
<Password name>: Name of the SecurePassword variable to be declared. Remarks WLanguage properties that can be used with the SecurePassword type The following properties can be used to handle a SecurePassword variable:
| | | | Property name | Type | Effect |
|---|
| Age | Duration | Time elapsed since the password was last changed. | | Content | Character string | Password. | | Derivation | Integer constant | Key derivation function used to hash the password: - SP_PBKDF2: Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2) is used.
PBKDF2 is a key derivation function that takes the following parameters: - the password,
- a hash algorithm (SHA256, SHA512, etc.),
- a salt (randomly generated). Salts are used to prevent rainbow table attacks.
- a number of iterations. This number of iterations increases the time it takes to generate/compare a password and prevents attackers from testing millions of passwords in a short time. Thus, the time it would take to generate/compare a password is so long that it becomes impossible to try many combinations.
| | Hash | Integer constant | Salting algorithm: - SP_SHA2_256: Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) is used.
- SP_SHA2_512: Secure Hash Algorithm 512 (SHA-512) is used.
- SP_SHA3_256: Secure Hash Algorithm 3-256 (SHA-3 256) is used.
- SP_SHA3_512: Secure Hash Algorithm 3-512 (SHA-3 512) is used.
| | IterationCount | Integer | Number of iterations of the hash algorithm used. It is recommended to set a value between 10,000 and 30,000 | | Length | Integer | Hash output length (in bits). The key must be a multiple of 8, greater than 160 bits and less than 2048 bits. It is recommended to use a 256 or 512-bit key. |
