Function pbkdf2::pbkdf2_simple

source · [−]

pub fn pbkdf2_simple(password: &str, c: u32) -> Result<String>

Expand description

A helper function that should be sufficient for the majority of cases where an application needs to use PBKDF2 to hash a password for storage.

Internally it uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 algorithm. The result is a String that contains the parameters used as part of its encoding. The pbkdf2_check function may be used on a password to check if it is equal to a hashed value.

Format

The format of the output is a modified version of the Modular Crypt Format that encodes algorithm used and iteration count. The format is indicated as “rpbkdf2” which is short for “Rust PBKF2 format.”

$rpbkdf2$0$<base64(c)>$<base64(salt)>$<based64(hash)>$

Arguments

password - The password to process
c - The iteration count
