Cryptographic Key Stretching Functions

ksf Go Reference codecov

  import "github.com/bytemare/ksf"

This package exposes a simple API to seamlessly use a variety of key stretching functions, also used as key derivation functions. It aims at minimum code adaptation in your code, and easy parameterization. It completely relies on built-ins, so there's no change in implementations.

Supported Key Stretching Functions (or Key Derivation Functions are):

  • Argon2 family
  • bcrypt
  • Scrypt
  • PBKDF2

What is ksf?

In cryptography, key stretching techniques are used to make a possibly weak key, typically a password or passphrase, more secure against a brute-force attack by increasing the resources (time and possibly space) it takes to test each possible key.
