<![CDATA[James's Programming Page — Why is derivedKeyLength (Utility.Pbkdf2.ComputeDerivedKey) in bytes ?]]> https://swforum.seekye.com/topic/10092/ Tue, 29 Nov 2016 04:47:08 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Why is derivedKeyLength (Utility.Pbkdf2.ComputeDerivedKey) in bytes ?]]> https://swforum.seekye.com/post/12957/#p12957 So i've been toying with CryptSharp and everything works fine and as expected so far, except for one small gripe: i don't understand why derivedKeyLength is in bytes since when dealing with anything having to do with cryptography the usual unit used is bits. As CryptSharp is not abiding by this convention, the documentation should at least mention what unit it's using...and it doesn't so i had to manually figure it out and that's just not fun.

</rant>

Suggestion: update the documentation to specify what unit derivedKeyLength is in.
