node-js-scrypt

JS Implementation of SCrypt wrapped in a module for node.js consumption.

Installation

npm install (coming soon)
clone the repository into your node_modules directory

Usage

var scrypt = require('js-scrypt');

//asynchronous
scrypt.hash(password, salt [,options], callback);

//synchronous
var resultBuffer = scrypt.hashSync(password, salt [,options])

Parameters

password (String or Buffer) - the value to be encoded/
- String will be encoded to bytes as UTF-8.
- Buffer will be encoded as-is.
salt (String or Buffer) - random data to be included in the hash.
- String will be encoded to bytes as UTF-8.
- Buffer will be encoded as-is.
options (Object, optional)
maxmem (Integer, optional) - the total memory available for scrypt in megabytes
- default: 32
- allowed values are (4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048)
cost (Integer, optional) - (N) must be a power of two, will set the overall difficulty of the computation.
- default: 16384 - Math.pow(2,14)
- min: Math.pow(2,8) - 256
- max: Math.pow(2,64) - 18446744073709552000
- Math.pow(2,14) - the scrypt paper's suggestion for interactive logins
- Math.pow(2,20) - scrypt paper suggestion for fulesystem encryption
blockSize (Integer, optional) - (r) blocksize to use
- default: 8
- min: 1
- max: 256
parallel (Integer, optional) - (p) parallelization factor
- default: 1 (given the runtime environment, it is probably best to leave this as-is)
- min: 1
- max: 256
size (Integer, optional) - (L) length of result (number of bytes to generate)
- default: 64 (this is a 512bit result, which is plenty for general password usage)
- min: 1
- max: 2048
callback (Function) - function(err, resultBuffer)
