bcryptsha256

Documentation

Overview

Package bcryptsha256 implements bcrypt with a SHA256 prehash in a format that is compatible with Python passlib's equivalent bcrypt-sha256 scheme.

This is preferred over bcrypt because the prehash essentially renders bcrypt's password length limitation irrelevant; although of course it is less compatible.

Constants

const RecommendedCost = bcrypt.RecommendedCost

The recommended cost for bcrypt-sha256. This may change with subsequent releases.

Variables

var Crypter abstract.Scheme

An implementation of Scheme implementing Python passlib's `$bcrypt-sha256$` bcrypt variant. This is bcrypt with a SHA256 prehash, which removes bcrypt's password length limitation.

Functions

func New

func New(cost int) abstract.Scheme

Instantiates a new Scheme implementing bcrypt with the given cost.

The recommended cost is RecommendedCost.
