RNGCryptoServiceProvider for Salt about isopoh.cryptography.argon2 HOT 1 CLOSED

Not sure why I didn't see your comment earlier.

Not only did I do it wrong in the example code, but worse, I did it wrong in the actual code.

While you are correct that a more secure hash is better, I have to admit, I just didn't know how to do it in .Net Core (after spending probably less than a minute looking). The reason why I did not spend much time is that I know their is 2^32 starting positions for the standard random number generator and the main reason for the salt is to make cracking mechanisms like rainbow tables infeasible. Increasing the search space of a brute force algorithm by a factor of 4 billion typically makes it pretty infeasible.

Having said that, your comment is correct and I have modified the code (and the example code) to use "System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator.Create().GetBytes(salt)".
