bCrypt's javadoc has this code for how to encrypt a password: String pw_hash = BCrypt.hashpw(plain_password, BCrypt.gensalt()); To check whether a plaintext password matches one that has been hashed previously, use the checkpw method: if (BCrypt.checkpw(candidate_password, stored_hash)) System.out.println("It matches"); else ...
I have read that when hashing a password, many recommend using the BCrypt algorithm. I am programming in C# and is wondering if anyone know of a good and correct implementation. Found this page here, with one, but I don't really know if it is bogus or not. Although, to a non crypting expert, the code looks kind of impressive and comples ...
I'm planning to use jBCrypt for password hashing in a new web application, as it is supposed to be the best from what I've read. As I haven't used it before I'm looking into if there is any reason not to use it. I have this: I haven't found it in the Maven repository (searched for jbcrypt and bcrypt at mvnrepository.org) which is a do...
Does anyone know of a good impl of bcrypt, I know this question has been asked before but it got very little response. Im a bit unsure of just picking an impl that turns up in google and am thinking that I may be better off using sha256 impl in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace, at least then I know it's supported! What are y...
I'm looking at ways to securely store passwords. Some people claim that scrypt is "better" than bcrypt, and so far I've seen nobody who claims vice versa or that scrypt is insecure, though some call bcrypt "more reputable". What's the advantage of scrypt over bcrypt? According to the scrypt website, "the cost of a hardware brute-force a...
I'm trying to install bcrypt-ruby on Windows Vista. So far, I have been able to install nmake.exe from a MS knowledge base article and cl.exe from installing Visual Studio 2008 Express. However, I am now encountering this error: cl -nologo -Wall -I. -IC:/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -I C:/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/...
I stumbled across BCrypt.net after reading Jeff Atwood's post about storing passwords which led me to Thomas Ptacek recommendation to use BCrypt to store passwords. Which finally led me to this C# implementation of BCrypt In the comments on the last link above someone asked "Why do GenerateSalt(30) take for ever, but GenerateSalt(31) se...
After looking into a bug in the original jBCrypt v0.1 C# port: BCrypt.net (Related Question). I decided to compare the new jBCrypt code against the old C# port to look for discrepancies and potential issues like the related question's bug. Here is what I've found: // original java (jBCrypt v0.3): private static int streamtoword(byte da...
I'm wondering if anyone has written or come across any implementations of bcrypt in JavaScript. I'm not against writing the code myself but if someone with a stonger background in cryptography has already written one why reinvent the wheel? Especially considering I'd probably come up with a shoddy wheel. [edit]: Following the links pro...
I've been experimenting with BCrypt, and found the following. If it matters, I'm running ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-04-30 trunk 27557) [i686-linux] require 'bcrypt' # bcrypt-ruby gem, version 2.1.2 @long_string_1 = 'f287ed6548e91475d06688b481ae8612fa060b2d402fdde8f79b7d0181d6a27d8feede46b833ecd9633b10824259ebac13b077efb7c24563fce0000670834215...
I created a GWT project which requires authentication. Initially, the users' passwords were in plain text, but now I would like to hash them with BCrypt. I searched but I cannot find a place describing how to make Jetty authenticate against a BCrypt hashed password. I'm sending the password to the server using a FORM in plain text and...
I need to get the basics of this function. The php.net documentation states, for the blowfish algorithm, that: Blowfish hashing with a salt as follows: "$2a$", a two digit cost parameter, "$", and 22 base 64 digits from the alphabet "./0-9A-Za-z". Using characters outside of this range in the salt will cause crypt() to return a zero...
I am contributing to a relatively mature open-source PHP project. Recently, I discovered that it stores passwords as plain MD5 hashes, which is quite bothersome to me. I figured that if I was going to fix it, I might as well Do It Right(tm), so I wanted to use bcrypt. First, what I have found for other languages: bcrypt-ruby appears t...
I have copy the make.bat to bin\ folder,when run the command gem install bcrypt-ruby, it shows the bash.exe is not the internal or external command. How to solve it? ...
I'm using database authentication in devise(current gem) on rails 3 and I get the following error when trying to log in with username/password. no such file to load -- bcrypt_ext This error occurred while loading the following files: bcrypt bcrypt_ext I have previously "Successfully installed bcrypt-ruby-2.1.2" gem.
