Module pwhash::bsdi_crypt [−] [src]

Enhanced DES-based hash.

This algorithm was developed by BSDi for BSD/OS as an extension of the traditional Unix crypt(3). It supports longer passwords, larger salt, and a variable number of rounds. Despite that, the algorithm is considered weak and is not recommended for new passwords.

Example

use pwhash::{bsdi_crypt, HashSetup};

assert_eq!(bsdi_crypt::hash_with(
        HashSetup { salt: Some("K0Ay"), rounds: Some(7250) },
        "password").unwrap(),
    "_Gl/.K0Ay.aosctsbJ1k");

Parameters

Password length: unlimited.
Salt length: 4 characters (24 bits).
Rounds: 1 to 2²⁴-1. Default is 7250.

Hash Format

The format of the hash is _{rounds}{salt}{checksum}, where:

{rounds} is a 4-character Base64 encoding of the number of rounds.
{salt} is a 4-character Base64 encoding of the salt.
{checksum} is a 11-character Base64 encoding of the checksum.

Constants

DEFAULT_ROUNDS	Default number of rounds.
SALT_LEN	Salt length.

Functions

hash	[ Deprecated ] Hash a password with a randomly generated salt and the default number of rounds.
hash_with	[ Deprecated ] Hash a password with user-provided parameters.
verify	Verify that the hash corresponds to a password.
