Описание (Description)
crypt() is the password encryption function. It is based on the
Data Encryption Standard algorithm with variations intended
(among other things) to discourage use of hardware
implementations of a key search.
key is a user's typed password.
salt is a two-character string chosen from the set [a-zA-Z0-9./].
This string is used to perturb the algorithm in one of 4096
different ways.
By taking the lowest 7 bits of each of the first eight characters
of the key, a 56-bit key is obtained. This 56-bit key is used to
encrypt repeatedly a constant string (usually a string consisting
of all zeros). The returned value points to the encrypted
password, a series of 13 printable ASCII characters (the first
two characters represent the salt itself). The return value
points to static data whose content is overwritten by each call.
Warning: the key space consists of 2**56 equal 7.2e16 possible
values. Exhaustive searches of this key space are possible using
massively parallel computers. Software, such as crack(1), is
available which will search the portion of this key space that is
generally used by humans for passwords. Hence, password
selection should, at minimum, avoid common words and names. The
use of a passwd(1) program that checks for crackable passwords
during the selection process is recommended.
The DES algorithm itself has a few quirks which make the use of
the crypt() interface a very poor choice for anything other than
password authentication. If you are planning on using the
crypt() interface for a cryptography project, don't do it: get a
good book on encryption and one of the widely available DES
libraries.
crypt_r() is a reentrant version of crypt(). The structure
pointed to by data is used to store result data and bookkeeping
information. Other than allocating it, the only thing that the
caller should do with this structure is to set data->initialized
to zero before the first call to crypt_r().
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
On success, a pointer to the encrypted password is returned. On
error, NULL is returned.
Ошибки (Error)
EINVAL salt has the wrong format.
ENOSYS The crypt() function was not implemented, probably because
of U.S.A. export restrictions.
EPERM /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled has a nonzero value, and an
attempt was made to use a weak encryption type, such as
DES.

Стандарты (Conforming to)
crypt(): POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4, 4.3BSD. crypt_r() is
a GNU extension.
Примечание (Note)
Availability in glibc
The crypt(), encrypt(3), and setkey(3) functions are part of the
POSIX.1-2008 XSI Options Group for Encryption and are optional.
If the interfaces are not available, then the symbolic constant
_XOPEN_CRYPT is either not defined, or it is defined to -1 and
availability can be checked at run time with sysconf(3). This
may be the case if the downstream distribution has switched from
glibc crypt to libxcrypt. When recompiling applications in such
distributions, the programmer must detect if _XOPEN_CRYPT is not
available and include <crypt.h> for the function prototypes;
otherwise libxcrypt is an ABI-compatible drop-in replacement.
Features in glibc
The glibc version of this function supports additional encryption
algorithms.
If salt is a character string starting with the characters "$id$"
followed by a string optionally terminated by "$", then the
result has the form:
$id$salt$encrypted
id identifies the encryption method used instead of DES and this
then determines how the rest of the password string is
interpreted. The following values of id are supported:
ID Method
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 MD5
2a Blowfish (not in mainline glibc; added in some Linux
distributions)
5 SHA-256 (since glibc 2.7)
6 SHA-512 (since glibc 2.7)
Thus, $5$salt$encrypted and $6$salt$encrypted contain the
password encrypted with, respectively, functions based on SHA-256
and SHA-512.
"salt" stands for the up to 16 characters following "$id$" in the
salt. The "encrypted" part of the password string is the actual
computed password. The size of this string is fixed:
MD5 22 characters
SHA-256 43 characters
SHA-512 86 characters
The characters in "salt" and "encrypted" are drawn from the set
[a-zA-Z0-9./]. In the MD5 and SHA implementations the entire key
is significant (instead of only the first 8 bytes in DES).
Since glibc 2.7, the SHA-256 and SHA-512 implementations support
a user-supplied number of hashing rounds, defaulting to 5000. If
the "$id$" characters in the salt are followed by "rounds=xxx$",
where xxx is an integer, then the result has the form
$id$rounds=yyy$salt$encrypted
where yyy is the number of hashing rounds actually used. The
number of rounds actually used is 1000 if xxx is less than 1000,
999999999 if xxx is greater than 999999999, and is equal to xxx
otherwise.
