🔒 Node.JS bcrypt password hashing algorithm following the PHC string format.


Coded with ❤️ by Simone Primarosa.

## PHC String Format

The [PHC String Format][specs:phc] is an attempt to specify a common hash string format that’s a restricted & well defined subset of the Modular Crypt Format. New hashes are strongly encouraged to adhere to the PHC specification, rather than the much looser [Modular Crypt Format][specs:mcf].

The hash strings generated by this package are in the following format:

```c
$bcrypt$v=r=$$
```

Where:

| Field | Type | Description
| --- | --- | --- |
| `` | number | The version of the bcrypt algorithm used. |
| `` | number | The cost of processing data encoded as log2(iterations). |
| `` | string | A sequence of bits, known as a [cryptographic salt][specs:salt] encoded in [B64][specs:B64]. |
| `` | string | The computed derived key by the [bcrypt][specs:bcrypt] algorithm encoded in [B64][specs:B64]. |

For more details consult the bcrypt paper [here][paper].

## Install

```bash
npm install --save @phc/bcrypt
```

## Usage

```js
const bcrypt = require('@phc/bcrypt');

// Hash and verify with bcrypt and default configs
const hash = await bcrypt.hash('password');
// => $bcrypt$v=98$r=10$Fu+++1sHIGTodjyG4pF4Sw$QlOihTVOARhpV0EiWv4k10i5Pw5Hm0E

const match = await bcrypt.verify(hash, 'password');
// => true

const match = await bcrypt.verify(hash, 'wrong');
// => false

const ids = bcrypt.identifiers();
// => ['bcrypt']
```

## Benchmarks

Below you can find usage statistics of this hashing algorithm with different
options.
This should help you understand how the different options affects the running
time and memory usage of the algorithm.

Usage reports are generated thanks to [sympact][gh:sympact].

## Test vectors

The [bcrypt paper][paper] does not lists test vectors to test implementation but
a set of well known test vectors has been used.
This package implements them [here][tvec].

## API

#### TOC



hash(password, [options])Promise.<string>


Computes the hash string of the given password in the PHC format using bcrypt
package.




verify(phcstr, password)Promise.<boolean>


Determines whether or not the hash stored inside the PHC formatted string
matches the hash generated for the password provided.




identifiers()Array.<string>


Gets the list of all identifiers supported by this hashing function.



### hash(password, [options]) ⇒ Promise.<string>
Computes the hash string of the given password in the PHC format using bcrypt
package.

**Kind**: global function
**Returns**: Promise.<string> - The generated secure hash string in the PHC
format.
**Access**: public

| Param | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| password | string | | The password to hash. |
| [options] | Object | | Optional configurations related to the hashing function. |
| [options.rounds] | number | 10 | Optional Must be an integer within the range (`4` <= `rounds` <= `31`). |

### verify(phcstr, password) ⇒ Promise.<boolean>
Determines whether or not the hash stored inside the PHC formatted string
matches the hash generated for the password provided.

**Kind**: global function
**Returns**: Promise.<boolean> - A boolean that is true if the hash computed
for the password matches.
**Access**: public

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| phcstr | string | Secure hash string generated from this package. |
| password | string | User's password input. |

### identifiers() ⇒ Array.<string>
Gets the list of all identifiers supported by this hashing function.

**Kind**: global function
**Returns**: Array.<string> - A list of identifiers supported by this hashing function.
**Access**: public
