From C# encryption key derivation to Ruby (PBKDF2) -

i'm trying rewrite following key generation method written in c# ruby equivalent:

        private static byte[] createkey(string password, int length)         {             var salt = new byte[] { 0x01, 0x02, 0x23, 0x34, 0x37, 0x48, 0x24, 0x63, 0x99, 0x04 };              const int iterations = 1000;             using (var rfc2898derivebytes = new rfc2898derivebytes(password, salt, iterations))                 return rfc2898derivebytes.getbytes(length);         } 

i'm using pbkdf2 implementation. , here's ruby code:

def create_key password, length     salt_a = [0x01, 0x02, 0x23, 0x34, 0x37, 0x48, 0x24, 0x63, 0x99, 0x04]     salt = salt_a.pack('c*') # think here there change     iterations = 1000     derived_b = pbkdf2.new |p|        p.password = password       p.salt = salt       p.iterations = iterations       p.key_length = length       p.hash_function = openssl::digest::sha1     end     derived_b.bin_string # , here end 

in order work 2 methods should return same output. problem can't figure out how this. pbkdf2 implementations takes salt string, c# takes byte array... think problem there.

if can use recent version of openssl, worked me:

salt = [ 0x94, 0x67, 0x16, 0xe6, 0x20, 0xd4, 0x56, 0x46, 0x67, 0x56, 0x46, 0x56, 0x23 ].pack("c*") pbkdf2_iterations = 1000  def create_key(password, length)   openssl::pkcs5::pbkdf2_hmac_sha1(password, salt, pbkdf2_iterations, length) end
