Hi Davide,
You need to be on Linux and
On pharo or squeak
- have a 32bit version of libxcrypt installed.
- use this mcz
http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI-PaulDeBruicker.16.mcz
or
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Cryptography/Cryptography/main/PasswordHashingFFI-PaulDeBruicker.16.mcz
(they're the same file)
On GemStone
- have a 64bit version of libxcrypt installed
- use this mcz
http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI-PaulDeBruicker.10.mcz
The Blowfish stuff is an implementation of the cipher
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_%28cipher%29). BCrypt uses blowfish
as its encryption mechanisim, calling it tens to hundreds of thousands of
times.
The PasswordHashingFFI package also includes support for accessing the
crypt(3) library so you can use SHA512 password hashing too if you like (or
other mechanisms it supports like DES, MD5, etc)
Hope this helps
Paul
