simple-scrypt
A Go library providing a convenient wrapper for secure password hashing using the scrypt key derivation function.
What is simple-scrypt?
simple-scrypt is a Go library that provides a convenient wrapper around Go's scrypt package for secure password hashing. It simplifies generating and comparing password hashes using the scrypt key derivation function with secure defaults and parameter management. The library addresses the need for strong, future-proof password storage in Go applications.
Go developers building applications that require secure user authentication and password storage. Particularly useful for those migrating from bcrypt or implementing scrypt-based authentication for the first time.
Developers choose simple-scrypt because it provides a clean, bcrypt-like API for scrypt operations with secure defaults out of the box. Its unique ability to upgrade hash parameters over time ensures password security can evolve with hardware improvements without breaking existing authentication systems.
