const password = "super-secure-pa$$word"; const hash = await Bun.password.hash(password); // => $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=2,p=1$tFq+9AVr1bfPxQdh6E8DQRhEXg/M/SqYCNu6gVdRRNs$GzJ8PuBi+K+BVojzPfS5mjnC8OpLGtv8KJqF99eP6a4 const isMatch = await Bun.password.verify(password, hash); // => trueThe second argument to Bun.password.hash accepts a params object that lets you pick and configure the hashing algorithm.
const password = "super-secure-pa$$word";
// use argon2 (default)
const argonHash = await Bun.password.hash(password, {
algorithm: "argon2id", // "argon2id" | "argon2i" | "argon2d"
memoryCost: 8, // memory usage in kibibytes (minimum 8)
timeCost: 3, // the number of iterations
});
// use bcrypt
const bcryptHash = await Bun.password.hash(password, {
algorithm: "bcrypt",
cost: 4, // number between 4-31
});
The algorithm used to create the hash is stored in the hash itself. When using bcrypt, the returned hash is encoded in Modular Crypt Format for compatibility with most existing bcrypt implementations; with argon2 the result is encoded in the newer PHC format.
The verify function automatically detects the algorithm based on the input hash and use the correct verification method. It can correctly infer the algorithm from both PHC- or MCF-encoded hashes.
const password = "super-secure-pa$$word";
const hash = await Bun.password.hash(password, {
/* config */
});
const isMatch = await Bun.password.verify(password, hash);
// => true
Synchronous versions of all functions are also available. Keep in mind that these functions are computationally expensive, so using a blocking API may degrade application performance.
const password = "super-secure-pa$$word";
const hash = Bun.password.hashSync(password, {
/* config */
});
const isMatch = Bun.password.verifySync(password, hash);
// => true
Salt
When you use Bun.password.hash, a salt is automatically generated and included in the hash.
bcrypt - Modular Crypt Format
In the following Modular Crypt Format hash (used by bcrypt):
Input:
await Bun.password.hash("hello", {
algorithm: "bcrypt",
});
Output:
$2b$10$Lyj9kHYZtiyfxh2G60TEfeqs7xkkGiEFFDi3iJGc50ZG/XJ1sxIFi;The format is composed of: bcrypt: $2b rounds: $10 - rounds (log2 of the actual number of rounds) salt: $Lyj9kHYZtiyfxh2G60TEfeqs7xkkGiEFFDi3iJGc50ZG/XJ1sxIFi hash: $GzJ8PuBi+K+BVojzPfS5mjnC8OpLGtv8KJqF99eP6a4 By default, the bcrypt library truncates passwords longer than 72 bytes. In Bun, if you pass Bun.password.hash a password longer than 72 bytes and use the bcrypt algorithm, the password will be hashed via SHA-512 before being passed to bcrypt.
await Bun.password.hash("hello".repeat(100), {
algorithm: "bcrypt",
});
So instead of sending bcrypt a 500-byte password silently truncated to 72 bytes, Bun will hash the password using SHA-512 and send the hashed password to bcrypt (only if it exceeds 72 bytes). This is a more secure default behavior.
argon2 - PHC format
In the following PHC format hash (used by argon2):
Input:
await Bun.password.hash("hello", {
algorithm: "argon2id",
});
Output:
$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=2,p=1$xXnlSvPh4ym5KYmxKAuuHVlDvy2QGHBNuI6bJJrRDOs$2YY6M48XmHn+s5NoBaL+ficzXajq2Yj8wut3r0vnrwIThe format is composed of: algorithm: $argon2id version: $v=19 memory cost: 65536 iterations: t=2 parallelism: p=1 salt: $xXnlSvPh4ym5KYmxKAuuHVlDvy2QGHBNuI6bJJrRDOs hash: $2YY6M48XmHn+s5NoBaL+ficzXajq2Yj8wut3r0vnrwI Bun.hash Bun.hash is a collection of utilities for non-cryptographic hashing. Non-cryptographic hashing algorithms are optimized for speed of computation over collision-resistance or security. The standard Bun.hash functions uses Wyhash to generate a 64-bit hash from an input of arbitrary size.
Bun.hash("some data here");
// 11562320457524636935n
The input can be a string, TypedArray, DataView, ArrayBuffer, or SharedArrayBuffer.
const arr = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
Bun.hash("some data here");
Bun.hash(arr);
Bun.hash(arr.buffer);
Bun.hash(new DataView(arr.buffer));
Optionally, an integer seed can be specified as the second parameter. For 64-bit hashes seeds above Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER should be given as BigInt to avoid loss of precision.
Bun.hash("some data here", 1234);
// 15724820720172937558n
Additional hashing algorithms are available as properties on Bun.hash. The API is the same for each, only changing the return type from number for 32-bit hashes to bigint for 64-bit hashes.
Bun.hash.wyhash("data", 1234); // equivalent to Bun.hash()
Bun.hash.crc32("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.adler32("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.cityHash32("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.cityHash64("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.xxHash32("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.xxHash64("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.xxHash3("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.murmur32v3("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.murmur32v2("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.murmur64v2("data", 1234);
Bun.hash.rapidhash("data", 1234);
Bun.CryptoHasher
Bun.CryptoHasher is a general-purpose utility class that lets you incrementally compute a hash of string or binary data using a range of cryptographic hash algorithms. The following algorithms are supported:
"blake2b256"
"blake2b512"
"md4"
"md5"
"ripemd160"
"sha1"
"sha224"
"sha256"
"sha384"
"sha512"
"sha512-224"
"sha512-256"
"sha3-224"
"sha3-256"
"sha3-384"
"sha3-512"
"shake128"
"shake256"
const hasher = new Bun.CryptoHasher("sha256");
hasher.update("hello world");
hasher.digest();
// Uint8Array(32) [ , , ... ]
Once initialized, data can be incrementally fed to to the hasher using .update(). This method accepts string, TypedArray, and ArrayBuffer.
const hasher = new Bun.CryptoHasher("sha256");
hasher.update("hello world");
hasher.update(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]));
hasher.update(new ArrayBuffer(10));
If a string is passed, an optional second parameter can be used to specify the encoding (default 'utf-8'). The following encodings are supported:
CategoryEncodingsBinary encodings"base64" "base64url" "hex" "binary"Character encodings"utf8" "utf-8" "utf16le" "latin1"Legacy character encodings"ascii" "binary" "ucs2" "ucs-2"
hasher.update("hello world"); // defaults to utf8
hasher.update("hello world", "hex");
hasher.update("hello world", "base64");
hasher.update("hello world", "latin1");
After the data has been feed into the hasher, a final hash can be computed using .digest(). By default, this method returns a Uint8Array containing the hash.
const hasher = new Bun.CryptoHasher("sha256");
hasher.update("hello world");
hasher.digest();
// => Uint8Array(32) [ 185, 77, 39, 185, 147, ... ]
The .digest() method can optionally return the hash as a string. To do so, specify an encoding:
hasher.digest("base64");
// => "uU0nuZNNPgilLlLX2n2r+sSE7+N6U4DukIj3rOLvzek="
hasher.digest("hex");
// => "b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"
Alternatively, the method can write the hash into a pre-existing TypedArray instance. This may be desirable in some performance-sensitive applications.
const arr = new Uint8Array(32); hasher.digest(arr); console.log(arr); // => Uint8Array(32) [ 185, 77, 39, 185, 147, ... ]HMAC in Bun.CryptoHasher Bun.CryptoHasher can be used to compute HMAC digests. To do so, pass the key to the constructor.
const hasher = new Bun.CryptoHasher("sha256", "secret-key");
hasher.update("hello world");
console.log(hasher.digest("hex"));
// => "095d5a21fe6d0646db223fdf3de6436bb8dfb2fab0b51677ecf6441fcf5f2a67"
When using HMAC, a more limited set of algorithms are supported:
"blake2b512"
"md5"
"sha1"
"sha224"
"sha256"
"sha384"
"sha512-224"
"sha512-256"
"sha512"
Unlike the non-HMAC Bun.CryptoHasher, the HMAC Bun.CryptoHasher instance is not reset after .digest() is called, and attempting to use the same instance again will throw an error.
Other methods like .copy() and .update() are supported (as long as it’s before .digest()), but methods like .digest() that finalize the hasher are not.
const hasher = new Bun.CryptoHasher("sha256", "secret-key");
hasher.update("hello world");
const copy = hasher.copy();
copy.update("!");
console.log(copy.digest("hex"));
// => "3840176c3d8923f59ac402b7550404b28ab11cb0ef1fa199130a5c37864b5497"
console.log(hasher.digest("hex"));
// => "095d5a21fe6d0646db223fdf3de6436bb8dfb2fab0b51677ecf6441fcf5f2a67"
