  • Article

The password verifier uses an EncryptionVerifier structure as specified in section 2.3.3. The password verifier Salt field MUST be equal to the salt created during password key generation, as specified in section 2.3.4.7. A randomly generated verifier is then hashed using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm specified in the EncryptionHeader structure, and encrypted using the key generated as specified in section 2.3.4.7, with a block number of 0x00000000.
