go-hmaccrypt provides very strong password digests using a combination of a peppered hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) and a salted adaptive key derivation function like bcrypt. A digest of each password is generated using e.g. HMAC-SHA512 with a pepper--a value stored separately from the final digests--after which a bcrypt digest of the HMAC digest is generated. The bcrypt digest is saved in e.g. a database. With this approach, you can ensure the safety of user passwords even if an SQL injection compromises the contents of your database's users table, or if a weakness is found in e.g. bcrypt. This approach is described on https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAppSec/Secure_Coding_Guidelines#Password_Storage go-hmaccrypt can be used safely by multiple goroutines. == Installation go get github.com/pmylund/go-hmaccrypt == Documentation go doc github.com/pmylund/go-hmaccrypt or http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/pmylund/go-hmaccrypt == Usage import ( "crypto/sha512" "github.com/pmylund/go-hmaccrypt" ) pepper := []byte("randomly generated sequence stored on disk or in the source") crypt := hmaccrypt.New(sha512.New, pepper) password := []byte("f00b4r!") digest, err := crypt.Bcrypt(password, 10) if err != nil { ... } // save the bcrypt digest in the database if err := crypt.BcryptCompare(digest, password); err == nil { // the password is a match ... }
