Pbkdf2

Pbkdf2 password hashing library for Elixir.

Pbkdf2 is a well-tested password-based key derivation function that can be configured to remain slow and resistant to brute-force attacks even as computational power increases.

Comparison with the Plug.Crypto version of Pbkdf2

If you want the Pbkdf2 output to be in binary (raw) or hex format, you might find Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator more convenient.

Installation

1. Add pbkdf2_elixir to the deps section of your mix.exs file:

def deps do
  [
    {:pbkdf2_elixir, "~> 1.4"}
  ]
end

1. Optional: during tests (and tests only), you may want to reduce the number of rounds so it does not slow down your test suite. If you have a config/test.exs, you should add:

config :pbkdf2_elixir, :rounds, 1
