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.
verifySCryptHash(plaintext,hashedstring);
returns boolean
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| plaintext | string | Yes | The unhashed string to compare. | |
| hashedString | string | Yes | The hashed string to compare. | |
| options | struct | No | {“memorycost”:8,”CpuCost”:16348,”Parallel”:1,”KeyLength”:32,”saltLength”:8} | A struct containing the optional values: –memorycost - Default is 8. –CpuCost - CPU cost of the algorithm (as defined in scrypt, this is N) that must be a power of 2 and greater than 1. Default is currently 16,348 or 2^14.–Parallel - the parallelization of the algorithm (as defined in scrypt, this is P). Default is currently 1.–Keylength - key length for the algorithm (as defined in scrypt, this is dkLen). Default is currently 32.–saltLength - length of the salt to use. Default is 8. |
This is an example of using the function to check against a hashed value.
secretMsg="$e0801$21aGCy86deU=$Yp2UaxwONLNgp0kUaBwuXAqsnFaAjOAUislNejW6Bjs=";
checkMe="My voice is my passport. Verify me."
writeOutput(verifySCryptHash(checkMe,secretMsg);
This is an example of using the function to check against a hashed value when the options were previously set.
