The crypto bcrypt library

Overview

The bcrypt library implements Provos and Mazières's bcrypt adaptive hashing algorithm. See (http://www.usenix.org/event/usenix99/provos/provos.pdf.)

Constants

DEFAULT_COST

The default cost used by the hashing function.

Functions

compare(hashedPassword string, plaintext string) -> bool

Compares a bcrypt hashed password with its possible plaintext equivalent. on success, or an error on failure.

hash(s string) -> string / error

Returns the bcrypt hash of the password using the default cost defined in this package. hash does not accept passwords longer than 72 characters, which is the longest password bcrypt will operate on.

hash(s string, cost int) -> string / error

Returns the bcrypt hash of the password at the given cost. If the cost given is less than 4, the cost will be set to DEFAULT_COST,
