Description
A .net Core port of BCrypt.net
If you're working on a .net core application and need to use BCrypt to store passwords, this is a quick and dirty port of BCrypt.net.
I have tested using this library on both the full .net 4.5 framework, as well as .net core RC1.
It builds, compiles and the Unit tests pass.
It should be a drop-in replacement for BCrypt.net as the namespaces are unchanged.

BCrypt.Net-Core
A .net Core port of BCrypt.net, with some feature and security enhancements.
Compatible with both the full .net framework and .net core (Netstandard 1.3).
It should be a drop-in replacement for BCrypt.net as the namespaces are unchanged.
How to use
Standard use:
// hash and save a password
hashedPassword = BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.HashPassword(clearTextPassword);
// check a password
bool validPassword = BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.Verify(userSubmittedPassword, hashedPassword);
If you need to specify a different salt revision when generating hashes, you can pass in a SaltRevision parameter:
// hash and save a password
hashedPassword = BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.HashPassword(clearTextPassword, SaltRevision.Revision2A);
This is only recommended if you're dealing with legacy systems, otherwise you should use the default of 2b. Note that the salt algorithm does not change, it will generate a correct bcrypt hash in all known cases.
Disclaimer
I did not write this library, I merely ported it to .net core. All credit goes to Ryan D. Emerle for porting BCrypt to .net in the first place.
