pw_hash

A collection of password hashing and verification routines.

This is a fork of the currently unmaintained pwhash, with updated dependencies.

See the documentation for API reference.

Getting Started

Add the following to the [dependencies] section of your Cargo.toml:

pw_hash = "0.1"

Example

use pw_hash::bcrypt;

// Hash a password with default parameters.
let h_new = bcrypt::hash("password").unwrap();

// Verify a password against an existing hash.
let h = "$2y$05$bvIG6Nmid91Mu9RcmmWZfO\
         5HJIMCT8riNW0hEp8f6/FuA2/mHZFpe";
assert!(bcrypt::verify("password", h));

Summary

The following algorithms are currently implemented (in alphabetical order):

• bcrypt

• bsdi_crypt

• md5_crypt

• sha1_crypt

• sha256_crypt

• sha512_crypt

• unix_crypt

Each algorithm resides in its eponymous module, and provides the following interface:

• verify(): verify a password against a hash.

• hash(): hash a password with default algorithm-spacific parameters.

• hash_with(): hash a password with customized parameters.

There is also a convenience module unix which provides the functions unix::crypt, a crypt(3) work-alike, and unix::verify.
