scrypt_enc

Derive a key using the scrypt key derivation function

function scrypt_enc(
  string $password,
  string $salt,
  int $N = 0,
  int $r = 0,
  int $p = 0,
): mixed;

Scrypt employs salting, iteration, and memory-hardness properties to increase the cost of brute-forcing a secret given the derived key.

Scrypt is parameterized in order to control the amount of time a derivation will take. If unsure what to use for the N, r, and p parameters, passing a zero value will select parameters with an estimated calculation time of .15 seconds.

Parameters

• string $password
• string $salt
• int $N = 0
• int $r = 0
• int $p = 0

Returns

• mixed - - Returns a string of the form $s$N$r$p$base64(salt)$base64(output), false on failure
