§RustCrypto: Password Hashing Traits

crate Docs Build Status Apache2/MIT licensed Rust Version Project Chat

Traits which describe the functionality of password hashing algorithms.

Documentation

§About

Provides a no_std-friendly implementation of the Password Hashing Competition (PHC) string format specification (a well-defined subset of the Modular Crypt Format a.k.a. MCF) which works in conjunction with the traits this crate defines.

§Supported Crates

See RustCrypto/password-hashes for algorithm implementations which use this crate for interoperability:

  • argon2 - Argon2 memory hard key derivation function
  • pbkdf2 - Password-Based Key Derivation Function v2
  • scrypt - scrypt key derivation function

§Minimum Supported Rust Version

Rust 1.60 or higher.

Minimum supported Rust version may be changed in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor version bump.

§SemVer Policy

  • All on-by-default features of this library are covered by SemVer
  • MSRV is considered exempt from SemVer as noted above

§License

Licensed under either of:

at your option.

§Contribution

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.

§Usage

This crate represents password hashes using the PasswordHash type, which represents a parsed “PHC string” with the following format:

$<id>[$v=<version>][$<param>=<value>(,<param>=<value>)*][$<salt>[$<hash>]]

For more information, please see the documentation for PasswordHash.
