If you're the author of that site... You should get someone who's really good at editing English to polish up the language. There are some obvious, little mistakes. For example, "some bonus" should be "a bonus" or "a (bigger) bonus" or something like that.

Maybe I'm the only one who actually cares about this kind of thing, but to me, little mistakes make something look unprofessional, or make me assume I'm dealing with a person who can only write code and doesn't have a broader perspective on things.

Hi author here! if you have any feedback or suggestion, do let me know. you can also drop me a mail – varun@ASPSecurityKit.net

ASP Security Kit is my humble attempt to solve membership management problem for applications built on ASP.NET Mvc platform. I have periodically observed that There are many common but essential requirements for most real-world web applications that aren't served well. Like action-based and resource (entity record) aware authorization. ASK handles all such must-to-have requirements pretty transparently and is highly flexible. This is because it's been developped and actively improved as a basis of many consultancy projects I have undertaken over the years.

It has also many nice-to-have things and many more things planned. I'm pretty excited about it and looking at the trafic I have received, many other feel the same way. So thanks everyone for logging on to the site and special thanks to those who have shown interest and provided their email! I'll soon get in touch with you all personally sharing the progress and launch date.

Not Open-Source then. So how do we know that it is secure?

Most of it is installed as source files in your mvc project so you are free to change and inspect things. This is where protection against XSS/XSRF/over-posting attacks is handled as in Mvc. Only the core module is delivered as closed library. But that is more of a business layer than the security layer. The best thing about the core module is that every piece is swappable (including salted password hashing with key stretching piece) as everything is based on service pattern (interfaces and contracts).

I appreciate the effort, but I would never use something like this which is not open source.

You say that it "Implements salted password hashing" but you don't mention the details of the method. Which method is it - bcrypt, md5, scrypt, sha1, pbkdf2 or something in-house? Why not say which?

I confess that I had to look up "key stretching". Is it usual to do this, and why do you do it?
