CryptographyAddSalt Method
Adds salt to a plaintext string to help prevent certain kinds
of attacks against symmetric ciphers.
Namespace: InnerDrive.CoreAssembly: InnerDrive.Core (in InnerDrive.Core.dll) Version: 5.2.9017.0
public static string AddSalt(
string plainText
)
- plainText String
- The plaintext to obfuscate.
StringA salted string ready for encryption.
The salted string will be longer than the plaintext string,
and may result in a still-longer ciphertext. Also, the obfuscation
performed, while greatly increasing the security of symmetric ciphers,
does nothing to conceal the plaintext string from attack.
The implementation of this routine is not guaranteed to remain the
same between version releases of the Idea framework.
The current implementation last changed with version 1.0 rev. 1152.
