Add needsRehash function #51

Open pinoy4 opened 8 years ago

pinoy4 commented 8 years ago

I believe it would be very convenient to have a function that evaluates whether a password's hash has been generated using lower costs that the current implemented ones. I like to store my costs in a configuration file so that if I am to upgrade my machine's hardware I can increase the cost easily, this way maintaining my new hashes updated with the latest machine power. I also like to update old hashes when they were generated with lower costs so if a password is verified I'll go through this check. I already have implemented this function in my local scrypt.php file and if you agree this is a good idea I would like it to be implemented on your repo.

Hi, I'm not really sure this is very relevant to php anymore since the added crypto functionalities in newer php versions. If you insist I could still take a look at what I did back then and make a PR
