+bcrypt.js
+=========
+Optimized bcrypt in JavaScript with zero dependencies. Compatible to the C++ [bcrypt](https://npmjs.org/package/bcrypt)
+binding on node.js and also working in the browser.

+
+Security considerations
+-----------------------
+Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the
+iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with
+increasing computation power. ([see](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt))
+
+While bcrypt.js is compatible to the C++ bcrypt binding, it is written in pure JavaScript and thus slower ([about 30%](https://github.com/dcodeIO/bcrypt.js/wiki/Benchmark)), effectively reducing the number of iterations that can be
+processed in an equal time span.
+
+The maximum input length is 72 bytes (note that UTF8 encoded characters use up to 4 bytes) and the length of generated
+hashes is 60 characters.
+
+Usage
+-----
+The library is compatible with CommonJS and AMD loaders and is exposed globally as `dcodeIO.bcrypt` if neither is
+available.
+
+### node.js
+
+On node.js, the inbuilt [crypto module](http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html)'s randomBytes interface is used to obtain
+secure random numbers.
+
+`npm install bcryptjs`
+
+```js
+var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
+...
+```
+
+### Browser
+
+In the browser, bcrypt.js relies on [Web Crypto API](http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI)'s getRandomValues
+interface to obtain secure random numbers. If no cryptographically secure source of randomness is available, you may
+specify one through [bcrypt.setRandomFallback](https://github.com/dcodeIO/bcrypt.js#setrandomfallbackrandom).
+
+```js
+var bcrypt = dcodeIO.bcrypt;
+...
+```
+
+or
+
+```js
+require.config({
+ paths: { "bcrypt": "/path/to/bcrypt.js" }
+});
+require(["bcrypt"], function(bcrypt) {
+ ...
+});
+```
+
+Usage - Sync
+------------
+To hash a password:
+
+```javascript
+var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
+var salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);
+var hash = bcrypt.hashSync("B4c0/\/", salt);
+// Store hash in your password DB.
+```
+
+To check a password:
+
+```javascript
+// Load hash from your password DB.
+bcrypt.compareSync("B4c0/\/", hash); // true
+bcrypt.compareSync("not_bacon", hash); // false
+```
+
+Auto-gen a salt and hash:
+
+```javascript
+var hash = bcrypt.hashSync('bacon', 8);
+```
+
+Usage - Async
+-------------
+To hash a password:
+
+```javascript
+var bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
+bcrypt.genSalt(10, function(err, salt) {
+ bcrypt.hash("B4c0/\/", salt, function(err, hash) {
+ // Store hash in your password DB.
+ });
+});
+```
+
+To check a password:
+
+```javascript
+// Load hash from your password DB.
+bcrypt.compare("B4c0/\/", hash, function(err, res) {
+ // res === true
+});
+bcrypt.compare("not_bacon", hash, function(err, res) {
+ // res === false
+});
+
+// As of bcryptjs 2.4.0, compare returns a promise if callback is omitted:
+bcrypt.compare("B4c0/\/", hash).then((res) => {
+ // res === true
+});
+```
+
+Auto-gen a salt and hash:
+
+```javascript
+bcrypt.hash('bacon', 8, function(err, hash) {
+});
+```
+
+**Note:** Under the hood, asynchronisation splits a crypto operation into small chunks. After the completion of a chunk, the execution of the next chunk is placed on the back of [JS event loop queue](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop), thus efficiently sharing the computational resources with the other operations in the queue.
+
+API
+---
+### setRandomFallback(random)
+
+Sets the pseudo random number generator to use as a fallback if neither node's `crypto` module nor the Web Crypto
+API is available. Please note: It is highly important that the PRNG used is cryptographically secure and that it is
+seeded properly!
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description
+|-----------------|-----------------|---------------
+| random | *function(number):!Array.&lt;number&gt;* | Function taking the number of bytes to generate as its sole argument, returning the corresponding array of cryptographically secure random byte values.
+| **@see** | | http://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html
+| **@see** | | http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/
+
+**Hint:** You might use [isaac.js](https://github.com/rubycon/isaac.js) as a CSPRNG but you still have to make sure to
+seed it properly.
