valphor 1.0.1

A hashing algorithm that is slower and more secure than bcrypt.

valphor

A hashing algorithm that is slower and more secure than bcrypt.

Installation

#!/bin/bash
pip install valphor

Usage

import valphor

hashed = valphor.hash(b"password", valphor.salt())
is_valid = valphor.verify(hashed, b"password")
print(is_valid)

Functions

• salt(length: int = 16, cost: int = 12) -> bytes

  Generates a cryptographically secure salt of the specified length.
  The cost parameter controls the computational complexity, increasing resistance against brute-force attacks.

---

• hash(verify_str: bytes, salt: bytes, length: int = 512) -> bytes

  Generates a secure hash of the input verify_str using the Valphor algorithm with the provided salt.
  The length parameter defines the length of the resulting hash in bits, enhancing flexibility for different security needs.

---

• verify(hashed: bytes, verify_str: bytes) -> bool

  Checks whether the provided verify_str matches the given hashed value using the Valphor verification process.
  Returns True if the verification succeeds, otherwise False.
