EZHash

EZHash is a simple to use module that allows you to encrypt and verify passwords using hashing function PBKDF2 and Node built-in module crypto. EZHash provides both sync and async option for hashing and verification.

Installation

$ npm i ezhash

Usage

EZHash module is imported into your project like this:

const EZHash = require('ezhash')();

You can also pass in optional setting values like this:

const EZHash = require('ezhash')({
  // (Values listed below are the default ones)  
  hashLength: 64, // Determines length of the hash in bytes
  saltLength: 16, // Determines length of the salt in bytes
  iterations: 100000, // Determines how many times the password will be hashed
  algo: 'sha512' // Determines which hashing algorithm will be used
});

After importing the module you can utilise these functions:

EZHash.hashPass('password'); // Returns a Promise that resolves with a derived key produced by PBKDF2
EZHash.verifyPass('password', derivedKey); // Returns a Promise that resolves with a boolean which determines whether the password matches the key
EZHash.hashPassSync('password'); // Returns a derived key produced by PBKDF2
EZHash.verifyPassSync('password', derivedKey); // Returns a boolean that determines whether the password matches the key
