Description: =========================
Python scrypt_ bindings
=========================
This is a set of Python_ bindings for the scrypt_ key derivation
function.
Scrypt is useful when encrypting password as it is possible to specify
a *minimum* amount of time to use when encrypting and decrypting. If,
for example, a password takes 0.05 seconds to verify, a user won't
notice the slight delay when signing in, but doing a brute force
search of several billion passwords will take a considerable amount of
time. This is in contrast to more traditional hash functions such as
MD5 or the SHA family which can be implemented extremely fast on cheap
hardware.
Installation
============
You can install py-scrypt from this repository if you want the latest
but possibly non-compiling version::
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/mhallin/py-scrypt
$ cd py-scrypt
$ python setup.py build
Become superuser (or use virtualenv):
# python setup.py install
Run tests after install:
$ python setup.py test
Or you can install the latest release from PyPi::
$ pip install scrypt
If you want py-scrypt for your Python 3 environment, just run the
above commands with your Python 3 interpreter. Py-scrypt supports both
Python 2 and 3.
From version 0.6.0 (not available on PyPi yet), py-scrypt supports
PyPy as well.
Usage
=====
Fore encryption/decryption, the library exports two functions
``encrypt`` and ``decrypt``::
>>> import scrypt
>>> data = scrypt.encrypt('a secret message', 'password', maxtime=0.1) # This will take at least 0.1 seconds
>>> data[:20]
'scrypt\x00\r\x00\x00\x00\x08\x00\x00\x00\x01RX9H'
>>> scrypt.decrypt(data, 'password', maxtime=0.1) # This will also take at least 0.1 seconds
'a secret message'
>>> scrypt.decrypt(data, 'password', maxtime=0.05) # scrypt won't be able to decrypt this data fast enough
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
scrypt.error: decrypting file would take too long
>>> scrypt.decrypt(data, 'wrong password', maxtime=0.1) # scrypt will throw an exception if the password is incorrect
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
scrypt.error: password is incorrect
From these, one can make a simple password verifier using the following
functions::
def randstr(length):
return ''.join(chr(random.randint(0,255)) for i in range(length))
def hash_password(password, maxtime=0.5, datalength=64):
return scrypt.encrypt(randstr(datalength), password, maxtime=maxtime)
def verify_password(hashed_password, guessed_password, maxtime=0.5):
try:
scrypt.decrypt(hashed_password, guessed_password, maxtime)
return True
except scrypt.error:
return False
But, if you want output that is deterministic and constant in size,
you can use the ``hash`` function::
>>> import scrypt
>>> h1 = scrypt.hash('password', 'random salt')
>>> len(h1) # The hash will be 64 bytes by default, but is overridable.
64
>>> h1[:10]
'\xfe\x87\xf3hS\tUo\xcd\xc8'
>>> h2 = scrypt.hash('password', 'random salt')
>>> h1 == h2 # The hash function is deterministic
True

Scrypt_ was created by Colin Percival and is licensed as 2-clause BSD.
Since scrypt does not normally build as a shared library, I have included
the source for the currently latest version of the library in this
repository. When a new version arrives, I will update these sources.
`Kelvin Wong`_ on Bitbucket provided changes to make the library
available on Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier, as well as changes to make the
library work more like the command-line version of scrypt by
default. Kelvin also contributed with the unit tests, lots of cross
platform testing and work on the ``hash`` function.
Burstaholic_ on Bitbucket provided the necessary changes to make
the library build on Windows.
