Package Exports

  • scryptsy

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (scryptsy) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

scryptsy

scryptsy is a pure JavaScript implementation of the scrypt key deriviation function that is fully compatible with Node.js and the browser (via Browserify).

Why?

Scrypt is an integral part of many crypto currencies. It's a part of the BIP38 standard for encrypting private Bitcoin keys. It also serves as the proof-of-work system for many crypto currencies, most notably: Litecoin and Dogecoin.

Why didn't I just the predominant pure JavaScript imlementation found here? Because it's riddled with bugs, contains no tests, and is a transliteration of the Java version. i.e. it's neither Node.js optimized nor browser optimized. Required optimizations: Buffer in Node.js and type arrays in the browser.

Usage

Installation

npm install --save scryptsy

Example

var scrypt = require('scryptsy').scrypt;

var key = "pleaseletmein";
var salt = "SodiumChloride";
var data = scrypt(key, salt, 16384, 8, 1, 64);
console.log(data.toString('hex'))
