Documentation

Overview

Package ssha provides functions to generate and validate {SSHA} styled password schemes. The method used is defined in RFC 2307 and uses a salted SHA1 secure hashing algorithm

Index

• Variables
• func Generate(password string, length uint8) (string, error)
• func Validate(password string, hash string) (bool, error)

Variables

var ErrBase64DecodeFailed = errors.New("base64 decode of hash failed")

ErrBase64DecodeFailed occurs when the given hash cannot be decode

var ErrNotMatching = errors.New("hash does not match password")

ErrNotMatching occurs when the given password and hash do not match

var ErrNotSshaPassword = errors.New("string is not a SSHA hashed password")

ErrNotSshaPassword occurs when Validate receives a non-SSHA hash

Functions

func Generate

func Generate(password string, length uint8) (string, error)

Generate encrypts a password with a random salt of definable length and returns the {SSHA} encoding of the password

func Validate

func Validate(password string, hash string) (bool, error)

Validate compares a given password with a {SSHA} encoded password Returns true is they match or an error otherwise
