Does that mean you can deduce the cost from the output hash alone? In order to adjust the cost over time, one either need to store the cost or be able to compute it (e.g. from the output hash).

I believe so. It's stored right after the $2a$. The output hash, by the looks of it, is similar to the way passwords are stored in Unixes -- and this is no surprise since bcrypt came from the OpenBSD guys.

The format is: $cryptomethod$length$salt$password, although anything after $cryptomethod$ is roughly freeform and parsed by the method (i.e. bcrypt) itself.

I'm not sure about what sort of hash Digest::Bcrypt is supposed to return, but it looks nothing like the raw Eksblowfish version. Personally, I would not trust this module if I cannot get an output similar to the crypt(3) C function from it.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
