Dude, I'm sorry I was not clearer. I'm in an application where I need to encrypt a piece of data and store it. When encrypting that data I need to use a specific salt value and a specific number of iterations, I'm trying to get a better understanding of what a salt value is and how it should be created.
In this instance it does not make sense to have the other application do the work instead of my application. If it did make sense to do that, I'd delete my application and be done with it Thanks!

Otherwise if it is convenient to you you could bring the java library down to you and install it on your server, provided you only use it for decryption an encryption.
