node bindings for crypto_scrypt from scrypt

Example

var scrypt = require('scrypt-hash')

var password = Buffer('aprettybadpassword')
var salt = Buffer('adashofsalt')
var N = 1024 * 64
var r = 8
var p = 1
var len = 32

scrypt(password, salt, N, r, p, len, function (err, hash) {
	if (err) {
		return console.error(err)
	}
	console.assert(hash.length === len)
	console.log('The hashed password is', hash.toString('hex'))
})

scrypt(data, salt, N, r, p, len, callback)

Arguments

data - Buffer - the value you want to hash
salt - Buffer
N - Number - must be 32bit integer and a power of 2
r - Number
p - Number
len - Number - length of the returned hash
callback - function (err, hash)
- err - Error
- hash - Buffer

For info on what N, r, p do see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf-01#section-5
