Crate sha_crypt

Expand description

Pure Rust implementation of the SHA-crypt password hash based on SHA-512, a legacy password hashing scheme supported by the POSIX crypt C library.

Password hashes using this algorithm start with $6$ when encoded using the PHC string format.

Usage

use sha_crypt::{Sha512Params, sha512_simple, sha512_check};

// First setup the Sha512Params arguments with:
// rounds = 10_000
let params = Sha512Params::new(10_000).expect("RandomError!");

// Hash the password for storage
let hashed_password = sha512_simple("Not so secure password", &params)
    .expect("Should not fail");

// Verifying a stored password
assert!(sha512_check("Not so secure password", &hashed_password).is_ok());
