How should I store data into my Mysql database, what type should I assign to a column storing salt values?
Salt is used to store your data securely. If we have to store user password securely, we need to use salt.
$pwd=hash(hash($password) + salt)
then store $pwd in your system instead of the real password.
So, the question is, how to define the salt value. Here is how:
// if (saltBytes == null) { // Define min and max salt sizes. int minSaltSize = 4; int maxSaltSize = 8; // Generate a random number for the size of the salt. Random random = new Random(); int saltSize = random.Next(minSaltSize, maxSaltSize); // Allocate a byte array, which will hold the salt. saltBytes = new byte[saltSize]; // Initialize a random number generator. RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider(); // Fill the salt with cryptographically strong byte values. rng.GetNonZeroBytes(saltBytes); }
