hash-phrase

A human readable hash function

About

Implementation of https://github.com/fpgaminer/hash-phrase in Node, as a module (rather than just a CLI)

Install

npm install --save hash-phrase

Example

const hashPhrase = require('hash-phrase')

hashPhrase('Some Data', function (err, hash) {
  if (err) return console.error(err)
  console.log(hash) // victory populous masters billion eyes
})

Usage

require('hash-phrase')(data, opts, cb(err, result))

opts

minEntropy (Number)

Minimum required entropy (bits, default: 64)

dictionary (Array)

An array of words (default is an array of 10000 english words supplied with module)

hasher(data, cb) (Function)

A function that takes data, and calls back with a hash of that data.

Defaults to using pbkdf2 with 50000 iterations, key length of 32, with a digest of sha256. Default is probably fine.

CLI

$ npm install -g hash-phrase

$ hash-phrase "Some Data"
victory populous masters billion eyes

Use Cases

With 64-bits encryption, use this for comparison but not brute-force or collision-attack resistant applications.
