Hasher

A lightweight .NET library for securely hashing passwords using PBKDF2 (HMACSHA512) with support for salt, pepper, and configurable iterations.

Features

  • PBKDF2 hashing with HMACSHA512
  • Secure random salt generation
  • Pepper support (stored outside the database)
  • Configurable iteration count
  • Simple password verification
  • Easy integration into any .NET application

Installation

.NET CLI: dotnet add package Hasher

NuGet Package Manager Console: Install-Package Hasher

(Replace "Hasher" with your actual NuGet package ID if different.)

Usage Example

using Hasher.Services;

var hashService = new HashService();

string password = "MySecurePassword123!"; string salt = hashService.GenerateSalt(16); string pepper = "<your-secret-pepper>"; // store securely! int iterations = 100000;

string hash = hashService.GeneratePasswordHash(password, salt, pepper, iterations);

bool isValid = hashService.VerifyPassword(password, salt, pepper, iterations, hash);

Security Notes

  • Salt should be unique per user and stored in the database.
  • Pepper must be stored outside the database (environment variable, secret vault, etc.).
  • Adjust iterations based on performance/security requirements.
  • Never reuse salts between users.
  • Always use HTTPS for password transmission.

API Overview

GenerateSalt(int length) Generates a cryptographically secure random salt (Base64).

GeneratePasswordHash(string password, string salt, string pepper, int iterations) Creates a PBKDF2 hash and returns it as Base64.

VerifyPassword(string password, string salt, string pepper, int iterations, string hashToCompare) Recreates the hash and compares it with a stored one.
