Are there plans to support bcrypt ? #44

Closed fastbike closed 2 years ago

fastbike commented 2 years ago

Are there plans to support the brypt hash for securing passwords. This has been deemed to be one of the safest ways of hashing them as it requires a Salt to be provided and also is self tuning so the speed remains relatively constant, even when run on faster hardware.

Would be happy if this only supported Delphi 10.x and above.

Plans refer to something in the future. So to be precise about your question: no, there are no such plans. Why not? Because it's already implemented! ;-) Just not in an official release yet. But you can find it in the current commit of the master branch or better use the latest commit of the development branch. I just commited the newest draft of the documentation because of your request.

Let me know if my implementation has any issues for you. Unit tests are in place so it should work as intended.

Apologies, my fault for not searching through the code. I've now found THash_BCrypt

Thanks, we can close the ticket
