I've being messing around the C# Bouncy Castle API to find how to do a PBKDF2 key derivation.

I am really clueless right now.

I tried reading through the Pkcs5S2ParametersGenerator.cs and PBKDF2Params.cs files but i really cant figure out how to do it.

According to the research I have done so far, PBKDF2 requires a string (or char[]) which is the password, a salt and an iteration count.

So far the most promising and most obvious i've come so far is the PBKDF2Params and Pkcs5S2ParametersGenerator.

None of these seems to be accepting a string or a char[].

Has anyone done this in C# or have any clue about this? Or perhaps someone who has implemented BouncyCastle in Java and can help?

Thanx a lot in advance :)

UPDATE: I have found how to do this in Bouncy Castle. Look below for answer :)
