This software utilizes bcrypt and pbkdf2 algorithms for password hashing. It provides a framework to ensure secure password storage.
Cryptacular is a handy software that offers an extensive range of password hashing functions. All the functions adhere to a common interface that makes it incredibly easy for you to migrate from your lackluster custom password scheme. If you have the ability to run C code in Python, then you should use bcrypt. On the other hand, if you do not have the ability to run C code in Python, then pbkdf2 is the one for you.
Cryptacular’s interface was inspired by zope.password, but it is significantly upgraded. Unlike zope.password, Cryptacular includes schemes that are sturdy enough for modern use. Additionally, it does not depend on zope. It explains why bcrypt is an ideal idea. In today’s world, computers are quite fast. As a result, it is necessary to use password hashes that take a little longer to check than sha1 (salt + hash). This will help protect our users from a leaked password database. Cryptacular has parametric complexity, allowing it to become stronger as computers continue to get faster.
Cryptacular ships with 100% test coverage, offering users peace of mind as they go about their password hashing business. Cryptacular.core defines the DelegatingPasswordManager and the interfaces PasswordChecker and PasswordManager. DelegatingPasswordManager fallbacks are PasswordChecker instances that do not need to implement password encoding. This means they do not implement InsecurePasswordScheme().encode().
Cryptacular.bcrypt uses ctypes to access the public-domain crypt_blowfish (), which is bundled with cryptacular. If you have the ability to use it, then you should. Cryptacular.pbkdf2, on the other hand, implements the pbkdf2 key derivation algorithm described in RFC 2898 as a password hash. It uses M2Crypto.EVP.pbkdf2 with a Python fallback when M2Crypto is not available. In brief, Cryptacular is an essential tool for anyone seeking an efficient and secure way to handle password hashing.
