VERSION

version 0.003

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

yescrypt($password, $salt, $flags, $block_count, $block_size, $parallelism = 1, $time = 0, $upgrades = 0)

This function processes the $password with the given $salt and parameters. It encodes the resulting tag and the parameters as a password string (e.g. $y$j9T$SALT$HIA0o5.HmkE9HhZ4H8X1r0aRYrqdcv0IJEZ2PLpqpz6).

yescrypt_check($password, $hash)

This verifies that the $password matches $hash. All parameters and the tag value are extracted from $hash, so no further arguments are necessary.

yescrypt_needs_rehash($hash, $salt, $flags, $block_count, $block_size, $parallelism, $time, $upgrades)

This returns true if the yescrypt $hash uses a different parameters than the given parameters.

yescrypt_kdf($password, $salt, $output_size, $flags, $block_count, $block_size, $parallelism = 1, $time = 0, $upgrades = 0)

This function processes the $password with the given $salt and parameters. It returns only the hash, without parameters or encoding.
