Package Information

Descriptionbcrypt password hash function for Node.js

bcrypt is an adaptive key derivation function based on the Blowfish cipher: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computational power.

Key derivation functions take a password, a salt, and a cost factor as inputs then generate a password hash. Their purpose is to make each password guessing trial by an attacker who has obtained a password hash file expensive and therefore the cost of a guessing attack high or prohibitive.

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
