Bcrypt is an implementation of a modern password hashing algorithm, based on the Blowfish block cipher, by Niels Provos and David Mazieres. It has been the default password scheme since OpenBSD 2.1.

A paper on the algorithm that explains its design decisions is available here: http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix99/provos.html

The most important property of bcrypt is that it is adaptable to future processor performance improvements, allowing you to arbitrarily increase the processing cost of checking a password while still maintaining compatibility with your older password hashes.

This package provides a high level object oriented wrapper around bcrypt, as well as low level bindings to the C library. It uses the random number generator random.SystemRandom() to create the salts.

Installation

To build the module from source code, read documentation on doc/source.txt.

Logging

Yamlog manages the error catching code and error reporting. Read its documentation if want to be set up.

Use

Typical usage:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 30)

Literal block expected; none found.

import bcryptor

hasher = bcryptor.Bcrypt() hash = hasher.create('crack my pass')

And to validate:

>>> hasher.valid('crack my pass', hash)

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 38)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

True >>> hasher.valid('Crack my pass', hash) False

Change history

v1.2.2, 2010-02-26

  • Fixed an import error at loading the package to get its docstring. It doesn't

  • The license has been changed to ISC.
  • For indentation, is used 4 spaces as is indicated in PEP-8.
  • The manage of exceptions and imports has been improved.
  • Better docstrings.
  • The values of cost can be changed at instancing Bcrypt().
