  • (Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 3 Jun 2023
    I would say a toy (or personal-use-only) password manager is a relatively simple project. If we are to forget about the GUI parts, you need to determine serialization of your password database (bincode + serde should be enough) and how to encrypt it. For the latter you need only two algorithms: a password hash for deriving encryption key from password and optional salt (the latter is usually randomly generated and stored as a "key file"), and an AEAD algorithm for encrypting and decrypting serialized database. There are certain pitfalls with encryption (e.g. you should not reuse nonce with the same key, especially with modes like GCM) and with properly erasing sensitive data from memory, as well as preventing it from leaking to things like swap, but learning about those is part of the learning experience.
  • PasswordRs 0.1.0 released (Rust NIF for password hashing)
    4 projects | /r/elixir | 24 Apr 2023
    I 'cheated' by forwarding everything to their separate Rust libraries which are maintained by https://github.com/RustCrypto/password-hashes . Ofcourse by adding the Elixir wrapper this could have introduced security issues (sadly I don't have enough knowledge about how NIF's handle memory ect. to test/check this myself)

  • [ANN] password-auth v0.1: a simple, easy-to-use password authentication library
    1 project | /r/rust | 14 Mar 2023
    As noted in the announcement, it's using the latest OWASP recommended parameters for Argon2, namely Argon2id with 19 MiB of memory, an iteration count of 2, and 1 degree of parallelism.

    For password handling, I have had good experience with password-hash and the various algorithm implementations in the password-hashes repo.
