PBKDF2 with bouncycastle in Java

Question

I\'m trying to securely store a password in a database and for that I chose to store its hash generated using the PBKDF2 function. I want to do this using the bouncy castle

Answer 1

PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 is already supported in BouncyCastle 1.60

https://www.bouncycastle.org/specifications.html Password Hashing and PBE

Test passed with OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13):

    Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());

    String password = "xrS7AJk+V6L8J?B%";
    SecureRandom rnd = new SecureRandom();
    int saltLength = 16;
    int keyLength = 128;
    int iterationCount = 10000;

    byte[] salt = new byte[saltLength];
    rnd.nextBytes(salt);

//SunJCE
    SecretKeyFactory factorySun = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1", "SunJCE");
    KeySpec keyspecSun = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keyLength);
    SecretKey keySun = factorySun.generateSecret(keyspecSun);
    System.out.println(keySun.getClass().getName());
    System.out.println(Hex.toHexString(keySun.getEncoded()));

//BouncyCastle  
    SecretKeyFactory factoryBC = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1", "BC");
    KeySpec keyspecBC = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keyLength);
    SecretKey keyBC = factoryBC.generateSecret(keyspecBC);
    System.out.println(keyBC.getClass().getName());
    System.out.println(Hex.toHexString(keyBC.getEncoded()));

    Assert.assertArrayEquals(keySun.getEncoded(), keyBC.getEncoded());

The output is:
