unit KSADLL;

{
  Dynamically load my little DLL file KSA.DLL / KSA-X86.DLL in Embarcadero Delphi and use it to make encryption keys from passwords. It's a key strengthening algorithm that uses SHA-3 and it performs 1 + (IntStrength * 1024) number of hashes. Valid numbers for IntStrength are 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024. Valid numbers for IntBits are 224, 256, 384 and 512. The returned string is hex encoded. The DLL file is Unicode and is available in both x64 and x86 variants. Download the DLL files here:
