ParamsReturnSource
Generates an Extended DES salt for use in `lithium\security\Password::hash()`.

Parameters

  • integer $count The base-2 logarithm of the iteration count. Defaults to `18`. Can be `1` to `24`. 1 will be stripped from the non-log value, e.g. 2^18 - 1, to ensure we don't use a weak DES key.

Returns

string The XDES salt.
