Detailed Description

Password generator interface.

This interface is used to generate strong passwords.

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

Flags for the password generator.

Enumerator
ALPHANUMERIC	Generated password contains only alphanumeric characters.

Member Function Documentation

virtual QString eVaf::PswGen::iGenerator::generatePassword ( QString const &  name, QString const &  masterPassword, int  length, uint  flags = 0  ) const

pure virtual

Generates a strong password.

Parameters

name	Name of the password
masterPassword	Master password
length	Length of the password (if zero, then uses the max length)
flags	Flags for the generator

Returns

Generated password

This function generates a strong password using the name and the master password string as inputs. Calling this function with the same input always returns the same generated password.

The length of the password is specified with the length argument. However, the generated password is never longer than possible with the particular cryptographic method.

Optional flags can be used to fine-tune the generator.

virtual int eVaf::PswGen::iGenerator::maxLength ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the maximum length of generated passwords.

Returns

Maximum length

This function returns the maximum length of generated passwords that is possible with the cryptographic method used by the module implementing this interface.
