bcrypt.js
=========
Optimized bcrypt in JavaScript with zero dependencies. Compatible to the C++ [bcrypt](https://npmjs.org/package/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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt))

While bcrypt.js is compatible to the C++ bcrypt binding, it is written in pure JavaScript and thus slower ([about 30%](https://github.com/dcodeIO/bcrypt.js/wiki/Benchmark)), 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](http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html)'s randomBytes interface is used to obtain
secure random numbers.

`npm install bcryptjs`

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

### Browser

In the browser, bcrypt.js relies on [Web Crypto API](http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI)'s getRandomValues
interface to obtain secure random numbers. If no cryptographically secure source of randomness is available, you may
specify one through [bcrypt.setRandomFallback](https://github.com/dcodeIO/bcrypt.js#setrandomfallbackrandom).

```js
var bcrypt = dcodeIO.bcrypt;
...
```

or

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

Usage - Sync
------------
To hash a password: 

```javascript
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: 

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

Auto-gen a salt and hash:

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

Usage - Async
-------------
To hash a password: 

```javascript
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: 

```javascript
// 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:

```javascript
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](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop), 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.&lt;number&gt;* | 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](https://github.com/rubycon/isaac.js) as a CSPRNG but you still have to make sure to
seed it properly.
