NAME
python-bcrypt - a module to implement OpenBSD's Blowfish password hash algorithmThis manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
python-bcrypt is a Python module implementating the OpenBSD Blowfish password hashing algorithm, as described in "A Future-Adaptable Password Scheme" by Niels Provos and David Mazieres: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/bcrypt-paper.ps
This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking. The computation cost of the algorithm is parametised, so it can be increased as computers get faster.
A simple example demonstrates most of the features:
import bcrypt
# Hash a password for the first time
hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(password, bcrypt.gensalt())
# gensalt's log_rounds parameter determines the complexity
# the work factor is 2**log_rounds, and the default is 12
hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(password, bcrypt.gensalt(10))
# Check that an unencrypted password matches one that has
# previously been hashed
if bcrypt.hashpw(plaintext, hashed) == hashed:
print "It matches"
else:
print "It does not match"
