Node.bcrypt.js

This is a bcrypt password hashing library and cryptography module for Node.js. It provides a toolset for generating secure salts, computing cryptographically strong hashes, and verifying passwords to protect user credentials from unauthorized access.

The library implements adaptive hashing, utilizing a configurable cost factor to increase the computational effort required to brute-force passwords. It includes a password verification tool that protects the comparison process from timing attacks.

The project covers secure password hashing and salt generation, as well as utilities for hash cost extraction and password verification. These capabilities support secure password storage and user authentication workflows.

    Authboss is a modular HTTP authentication framework for managing user identity, session lifecycles, and password security. It provides a system of identity access middleware to control route access and synchronize user identity across requests via standard web protocols. The framework is distinguished by a pluggable architecture that allows for the registration of independent modules to extend identity logic. It utilizes a hook-based event system to execute custom business logic during authentication state changes and employs a selector-verifier token pattern to protect against timing attacks
