bcrypt.js

Optimized bcrypt in JavaScript with zero dependencies. Compatible to the C++ bcrypt binding on node.js and also working in the browser.

Security considerations

Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power. (see)

While bcrypt.js is compatible to the C++ bcrypt binding, it is written in pure JavaScript and thus slower (about 30%), effectively reducing the number of iterations that can be processed in an equal time span.

The maximum input length is 72 bytes (note that UTF8 encoded characters use up to 4 bytes) and the length of generated hashes is 60 characters.

Usage

The library is compatible with CommonJS and AMD loaders and is exposed globally as dcodeIO.bcrypt if neither is available.

node.js

On node.js, the inbuilt crypto module's randomBytes interface is used to obtain secure random numbers.

npm install bcryptjs

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
...

Browser

In the browser, bcrypt.js relies on Web Crypto API's getRandomValues interface to obtain secure random numbers. If no cryptographically secure source of randomness is available, you may specify one through bcrypt.setRandomFallback.

var bcrypt = dcodeIO.bcrypt;
...

or

require.config({
    paths: { "bcrypt": "/path/to/bcrypt.js" }
});
require(["bcrypt"], function(bcrypt) {
    ...
});

Usage - Sync

To hash a password:

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
var salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);
var hash = bcrypt.hashSync("B4c0/\/", salt);
// Store hash in your password DB.

To check a password:

// Load hash from your password DB.
bcrypt.compareSync("B4c0/\/", hash); // true
bcrypt.compareSync("not_bacon", hash); // false

Auto-gen a salt and hash:

var hash = bcrypt.hashSync('bacon', 8);

Usage - Async

To hash a password:

var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
bcrypt.genSalt(10, function(err, salt) {
    bcrypt.hash("B4c0/\/", salt, function(err, hash) {
        // Store hash in your password DB.
    });
});

To check a password:

// Load hash from your password DB.
bcrypt.compare("B4c0/\/", hash, function(err, res) {
    // res === true
});
bcrypt.compare("not_bacon", hash, function(err, res) {
    // res === false
});

// As of bcryptjs 2.4.0, compare returns a promise if callback is omitted:
bcrypt.compare("B4c0/\/", hash).then((res) => {
    // res === true
});

Auto-gen a salt and hash:

bcrypt.hash('bacon', 8, function(err, hash) {
});

Note: Under the hood, asynchronisation splits a crypto operation into small chunks. After the completion of a chunk, the execution of the next chunk is placed on the back of JS event loop queue, thus efficiently sharing the computational resources with the other operations in the queue.

API

setRandomFallback(random)

Sets the pseudo random number generator to use as a fallback if neither node's crypto module nor the Web Crypto API is available. Please note: It is highly important that the PRNG used is cryptographically secure and that it is seeded properly!

Parameter	Type	Description
random	function(number):!Array.<number>	Function taking the number of bytes to generate as its sole argument, returning the corresponding array of cryptographically secure random byte values.
@see		http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html
@see		http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

Hint: You might use isaac.js as a CSPRNG but you still have to make sure to seed it properly.

genSaltSync(rounds=, seed_length=)

Synchronously generates a salt.

Parameter	Type	Description
rounds	number	Number of rounds to use, defaults to 10 if omitted
seed_length	number	Not supported.
@returns	string	Resulting salt
@throws	Error	If a random fallback is required but not set

genSalt(rounds=, seed_length=, callback)

Asynchronously generates a salt.

Parameter	Type	Description
rounds	number | function(Error, string=)	Number of rounds to use, defaults to 10 if omitted
seed_length	number | function(Error, string=)	Not supported.
callback	function(Error, string=)	Callback receiving the error, if any, and the resulting salt
@returns	Promise	If callback has been omitted
@throws	Error	If callback is present but not a function

hashSync(s, salt=)

Synchronously generates a hash for the given string.

Parameter	Type	Description
s	string	String to hash
salt	number | string	Salt length to generate or salt to use, default to 10
@returns	string	Resulting hash

hash(s, salt, callback, progressCallback=)

Asynchronously generates a hash for the given string.

Parameter	Type	Description
s	string	String to hash
salt	number | string	Salt length to generate or salt to use
callback	function(Error, string=)	Callback receiving the error, if any, and the resulting hash
progressCallback	function(number)	Callback successively called with the percentage of rounds completed (0.0 - 1.0), maximally once per MAX_EXECUTION_TIME = 100 ms.
@returns	Promise	If callback has been omitted
@throws	Error	If callback is present but not a function

compareSync(s, hash)

Synchronously tests a string against a hash.

Parameter	Type	Description
s	string	String to compare
hash	string	Hash to test against
@returns	boolean	true if matching, otherwise false
@throws	Error	If an argument is illegal

compare(s, hash, callback, progressCallback=)

Asynchronously compares the given data against the given hash.

Parameter	Type	Description
s	string	Data to compare
hash	string	Data to be compared to
callback	function(Error, boolean)	Callback receiving the error, if any, otherwise the result
progressCallback	function(number)	Callback successively called with the percentage of rounds completed (0.0 - 1.0), maximally once per MAX_EXECUTION_TIME = 100 ms.
@returns	Promise	If callback has been omitted
@throws	Error	If callback is present but not a function

getRounds(hash)

Gets the number of rounds used to encrypt the specified hash.

Parameter	Type	Description
hash	string	Hash to extract the used number of rounds from
@returns	number	Number of rounds used
@throws	Error	If hash is not a string

getSalt(hash)

Gets the salt portion from a hash. Does not validate the hash.

Parameter	Type	Description
hash	string	Hash to extract the salt from
@returns	string	Extracted salt part
@throws	Error	If hash is not a string or otherwise invalid

Command line

Usage: bcrypt <input> [salt]

If the input has spaces inside, simply surround it with quotes.
