Proof of concept PwdHash alternative

Overview

This is a proof-of-concept alteration to the Stanford PwdHash tool. The main changes to the original are the following.

  1. Changed the hash algorithm from HMAC-MD5 to PBKDF2-SHA256.
  2. Added the option to store a user-specified salt and iteration count.
  3. The effective 22-character password limit has been removed.

Due to the changes this version is incompatible with the earlier PwdHash versions.

You can test out the updated version at the PwdHash-PoC website.

Deploy

If you'd like to deploy your own version, just copy the files inside the site folder to your webspace. Everything else happens on the client.
