Module src.utils.hashUtils

Utilities for password and login operations using hash algorithms.

This module provides functions to securely hash passwords using the SHA-512 hash algorithm with the inclusion of a pepper and an optional salt. The purpose of this is to ensure secure password handling in login-like scenarios.

Functions

• getSha512: Generates a SHA-512 hash of the given password, pepper, and salt.

Usage example: # Import the module import hashUtils

# Hash a password with a pepper and optional salt
hashed_password = hashUtils.getSha512("myPassword", "myPepper")
print(hashed_password)

# Hash a password with a custom salt
hashed_password_with_salt = hashUtils.getSha512("myPassword", "myPepper", "myCustomSalt")
print(hashed_password_with_salt)

Functions

def getSha512(password: str, pepper: str, salt: str = 'aSDh7u8o134z5890712374ß9v571ß293vß9qe&123801348509134985§124889137') ‑> str

Generates a SHA-512 hash of the given password, pepper, and salt.

Args

password : str

The password to be hashed.

pepper : str

The pepper (a secret value added to the password) for additional security.

salt : str, optional

The salt (a random string) to be added to the password and pepper for further security. Defaults to a predefined salt.

Returns

str

The SHA-512 hash of the combined password, pepper, and salt as a hexadecimal string.

Example

hashed_password = getSha512("myPassword", "myPepper") hashed_password_with_salt = getSha512("myPassword", "myPepper", "myCustomSalt")
