verifyBCryptHash

This function compares a plaintext entry to the hashed string. NOTE 1:Hashing is one-way, so you can’t “decrypt” a hashed value. You have to hash the value you want to check and then compare that to the saved hash. NOTE 2: The version and rounds don’t need to be specified because they are included at the beginning of the hashed string.

verifyBCryptHash(plaintext,hashedstring);

returns boolean

Argument Reference

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
plaintext	string	Yes		The unhashed string to compare.
hashedstring	string	Yes		The hashed string to compare.

Example of Verifying the BCrypt Hash

This is an example of using the function to check against a hashed value.

secretMsg="$2a$10$.jQX1KnwPzhvVet0vEENnOlO8C70oM8GQhu0MQnCgcIlWhguWb3q.";
checkMe="My voice is my passport. Verify me."
writeOutput(verifyBCryptHash(checkMe,secretMsg);

Expected Result: YES

Example of Verifying the BCrypt Hash With Options Set On Hash

This is an example of using the function to check against a hashed value when the options were previously set.

secretMsg="$2b$05$Cf4c5OFks8s8QKrByuEA7OHQDKSKPs5217L0H1DowfFLY3RLbFi4a";
checkMe="Setec Astronomy"
writeOutput(verifyBCryptHash(checkMe,secretMsg));

Expected Result: YES
