# Using CommandBox to install for web servers.
box install bx-password-encrypt

The password encryption module ( bx-password-encrypt ) provides password encryption and hashing functionality to Boxlang.

It contributes the following Built-in-Functions to the language:

• ArgonHash: Returns a secure input hash of the given string using the Argon2 hashing algorithm. ( Alias: GenerateArgon2Hash )

• ArgonVerify: Performs a Argon2 verification on the given string against the hashed value. ( Alias: Argon2CheckHash )

• BCryptHash: Returns a secure input hash of the given string using the BCrypt hashing algorithm.( Alias: GenerateBCryptHash )

• BCryptVerify: Performs a BCrypt verification on the given string against the hashed value. ( Alias: BCryptCheckHash )

• SCryptHash: Returns a secure input hash of the given string using the SCrypt hashing algorithm.( Alias: GenerateSCryptHash )

• SCryptVerify: Performs a SCrypt verification on the given string against the hashed value. ( Alias: SCryptCheckHash )

• GeneratePBKDFKey: Generates a PDFK key from the given password and salt.
