			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>So i&#039;ve been toying with CryptSharp and everything works fine and as expected so far, except for one small gripe: i don&#039;t understand why derivedKeyLength is in bytes since when dealing with anything having to do with cryptography the usual unit used is <strong>bits</strong>. As CryptSharp is not abiding by this convention, the documentation should at least mention what unit it&#039;s using...and it doesn&#039;t so i had to manually figure it out and that&#039;s just not fun.</p><p>&lt;/rant&gt;</p><p>Suggestion: update the documentation to specify what unit derivedKeyLength is in.</p>]]></content>
