Answer 2

Your best bet would be to port the code Joomla uses into your own libraries as static methods. All you have to do in the end would be to take the PHP process:

$salt = JUserHelper::genRandomPassword(32);
$crypt = JUserHelper::getCryptedPassword(password, $salt);
$dbPassword = $crypt.':'.$salt;

and convert it to C#:

string salt = Libraries.JUserHelper.genRandomPassword(32);
string crypt = Libraries.JUserHelper.getCryptedPassword(password, salt);
string dbPassword = string.Format("{0}:{1}", crypt, salt);
