for crypt(3) by now. In any case: Add crypt_set_format(3) + documentation to -lcrypt. Add login_setcryptfmt(3) + documentation to -lutil. Support for switching crypt formats in passwd(8). Support for switching crypt formats in pw(8). The simple synopsis is: edit login.conf; add a passwd_format field set to "des" or "md5"; go nuts :) Reviewed by: peter

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
function performs password hashing with additional code added to
|
|
deter key search attempts. Different algorithms can be used to
|
|
in the hash.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" NOTICE:
|
|
.\" If you add more algorithms, make sure to update this list
|
|
.\" and the default used for the Traditional format, below.
|
|
.\"
|
|
Currently these include the
|
|
.Tn NBS
|
|
.Tn Data Encryption Standard (DES) ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn MD5 .
|
|
The algorithm used will depend upon the format of the Salt (following
|
|
the Modular Crypt Format (MCF)), if
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
is installed or not, and whether
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
has been called to change the default.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first argument to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the data to hash (usually a password), in a
|
|
.Dv null Ns -terminated
|
|
string.
|
|
The second is the salt, in one of three forms:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Traditional -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Extended
|
|
If it begins with an underscore
|
|
.Pq Dq _
|
|
then the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
Extended Format
|
|
is used in interpreting both the the key and the salt, as outlined below.
|
|
.It Modular
|
|
If it begins with the string
|
|
.Dq $digit$
|
|
then the Modular Crypt Format is used, as outlined below.
|
|
.It Traditional
|
|
If neither of the above is true, it assumes the Traditional Format,
|
|
using the entire string as the salt (or the first portion).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All routines are designed to be time-consuming. A brief test on a
|
|
.Tn Pentium
|
|
166/MMX shows the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
crypt to do approximately 2640 crypts
|
|
a CPU second and MD5 to do about 62 crypts a CPU second.
|
|
.Ss DES Extended Format:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is divided into groups of 8 characters (the last group is null-padded)
|
|
and the low-order 7 bits of each each character (56 bits per group) are
|
|
used to form the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
key as follows:
|
|
the first group of 56 bits becomes the initial
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
key.
|
|
For each additional group, the XOR of the encryption of the current
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
key with itself and the group bits becomes the next
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
key.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The salt is a 9-character array consisting of an underscore followed
|
|
by 4 bytes of iteration count and 4 bytes of salt.
|
|
These are encoded as printable characters, 6 bits per character,
|
|
least significant character first.
|
|
The values 0 to 63 are encoded as ``./0-9A-Za-z''.
|
|
This allows 24 bits for both
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa salt .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa salt
|
|
introduces disorder in the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
algorithm in one of 16777216 or 4096 possible ways
|
|
(ie. with 24 or 12 bits: if bit
|
|
.Em i
|
|
of the
|
|
.Ar salt
|
|
is set, then bits
|
|
.Em i
|
|
and
|
|
.Em i+24
|
|
are swapped in the
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
E-box output).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
key is used to encrypt a 64-bit constant using
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
iterations of
|
|
.Tn DES .
|
|
The value returned is a
|
|
.Dv null Ns -terminated
|
|
string, 20 or 13 bytes (plus null) in length, consisting of the
|
|
.Ar salt
|
|
followed by the encoded 64-bit encryption.
|
|
.Ss "Modular" crypt:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the salt begins with the string
|
|
.Fa $digit$
|
|
then the Modular Crypt Format is used. The
|
|
.Fa digit
|
|
represents which algorithm is used in encryption. Following the token is
|
|
the actual salt to use in the encryption. The length of the salt is limited
|
|
to 16 characters--because the length of the returned output is also limited
|
|
(_PASSWORD_LEN). The salt must be terminated with the end of the string
|
|
(NULL) or a dollar sign. Any characters after the dollar sign are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently supported algorithms are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 012345678 -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It 1
|
|
MD5
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other crypt formats may be easilly added. An example salt would be:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent
|
|
.It Cm "$3$thesalt$rest"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ss "Traditional" crypt:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The algorithm used will depend upon whether
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
has been called and whether
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
is installed or not. If
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
is installed and
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
has not set the format to something else, it will be used.
|
|
Otherwise, the best algorithm is used, which is currently
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" NOTICE: Also make sure to update this
|
|
.\"
|
|
MD5.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
How the salt is used will depend upon the algorithm for the hash. For
|
|
best results, specify at least two characters of salt.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crypt_get_format
|
|
function returns a constant string that represents the name of the
|
|
algorithm currently used.
|
|
Valid values are
|
|

|
|
.\" NOTICE: Also make sure to update this, too, as well
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ql des
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql md5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
function sets the default encoding format according to the supplied
|
|
.Fa string .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
returns a pointer to the encrypted value on success, and NULL on failure.
|
|
Note: this is not a standard behaviour, AT&T
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
will always return a pointer to a string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
will return 1 if the supplied encoding format was valid.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of 0 is returned.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
function returns a pointer to static data, and subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
will modify the same data. Likewise,
|
|
.Fn crypt_set_format
|
|
modifies static data.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A rotor-based
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.At v6 .
|
|
The current style
|
|
.Fn crypt
|
|
first appeared in
|
|
.At v7 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn DES
|
|
section of the code (FreeSec 1.0) was developed outside the United
|
|
States of America as an unencumbered replacement for the U.S.-only
|
|
.Nx
|
|
libcrypt encryption library.
|
|
Users should be aware that this code (and programs staticly linked with it)
|
|
may not be exported from the U.S., although it apparently can be imported.
