Module libpasta::primitives [−] [src]

Primitive in libpasta refers to the raw hashing algorithms as implemented in many libraries.

The main algorithms here are re-exported for general use. Each algorithm has a new and default function. The former can be provided parameters and creates a new dynamic instance of that parameter set. Whereas the latter refers to a statically referenced parameter set.

All implementations are wrapped in a Primitive struct, which in effect works like a trait, since it derefs to a PrimitiveImpl. This means that whether using a new or default parameter set, the overall behaviour is equivalent.

Structs

Argon2	Parameter set for Argon2.
Bcrypt	`bcrypt` parameter set.
Hmac	Password storage strengthening using HMAC.
Pbkdf2	Struct holding `PBKDF2` parameters.
Primitive	Password hashing primitives
RingPbkdf2	Struct holding `PBKDF2` parameters.
Scrypt	Struct holding `scrypt` parameters.

Enums

Sod	Enum to hold either static references or reference-counted owned objects. Implements `Deref` to `T` for ease of use. Since internal data is either a static reference, or an `Arc`, cloning is a cheap operation.

Traits

PrimitiveImpl

Trait defining the functionality of a hashing primitive.
