Functions

func Compare

func Compare(hashed string, password string) (bool, error)

Compare checks the equality of passwords from a hashed pbkdf2 string. This uses pbkdf2 to ensure FIPS 140-2 compliance. See: https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/templates/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/security-policies/140sp2261.pdf

func Hash

func Hash(password string) (string, error)

Hash generates a hash using pbkdf2. See the Compare() comment for rationale.

func Validate

func Validate(password string) error

Validate checks that the plain text password meets the minimum password requirements. It returns properly formatted errors for detailed form validation on the client.
