PBKDF2-Wrapper
Last weekend I was messing around and reading up on CommonCrypto, the built in encryption library for iOS and OSX.
From the docs:
Common Crypto provides low-level C support for encryption and decryption. Common Crypto is not as straightforward as Security Transforms, but provides a wider range of features, including additional hashing schemes, cipher modes, and so on.
The way I learn learn best to actually use the tool I am trying to learn, and even better, to build something meaningful using it. Since CommonCrypto is all “low-level C” I decided to take the PBKDF2 algorithm from it an build a higher level Objective C interface for it.
After some experimenting I outlined a few classes, and wrote out a consise API that provides flexibility and some additional benefits on top of the C implementation.
I was happy with how it turned out so I wrote some tests and turned it into a CocoaPod. If you want to use it simply add pod 'PBKDF2-Wrapper' to your Podfile.
