* Package name : node-bcrypt Version : 6.0.0 Upstream Author : Nick Campbell <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : bcrypt password hash function for Node.js bcrypt is an adaptive key derivation function based on the Blowfish cipher: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computational power. . Key derivation functions take a password, a salt, and a cost factor as inputs then generate a password hash. Their purpose is to make each password guessing trial by an attacker who has obtained a password hash file expensive and therefore the cost of a guessing attack high or prohibitive. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine. test dep for bcryptjs i plan to maintain this under the js-team
