hashword

Node hashword

A pure JavaScript password hashing framework.

Now, just a wrapper around bcrypt

Installation

Use NPM to install:

npm install hashword

Usage

const Hashword = require('hashword');

//Change hash iteration count if needed. Min:8. Max:31. Defaults to 8.
const hashword = new Hashword(12);

//Generate a random string of 10 characters.
let password = await hashword.generate(10);

//Generate hash of the password with a random key.
let hash = await hashword.hash(password);

//Verify the hash and password
let success = await hashword.ccheck(password, hash);

Performance / Benchmark

I have added a simple benchmark against BCrypt for generating hash and comparing password.

On average Hashword turns out to be 20% faster than BCrypt.
