Drogon Assist

Drogon Assist is a 3rd party toolkit (even though the author is a maintainer of Drogon) for features that doesn't make it into Drogon's repository. Either because it is out of scope for the core framework, too much dependency or just because.

Dependencies:

• libbsd (if not on *BSD)
• Botan-2

Note: This library is in early development. The APIs may change without prior notice

Note: You need to recompile this library after any update to Drogon. Otherwise ABI incompatablity may cause unexpected issues.

Features

• Password hashing
• BasicAuth parsing
• HTTP Signature genration and verifing (RSA only)
• SHA3/Blake2b hash
• Auxiliary Plugins

Example

Easy Password Hashing

#include <drogon/assist/passwdhash.hpp>

std::string hashed = drassist::passwdhash::hash("12456");
// ARGON2:QrrB8NQCF5JlfWoA:$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=2,p=1$+HCM3JuBVPkeF3QiGo7PdA$zIOLPhwKVdSCUfMtq1zd+rCJ9DSMVhkSV+43TRUGtLw

drassist::passwdhash::verify("123456", hashed); // true
drassist::passwdhash::verify("abcdef", hashed); // false
