Convert between camel-cased & hyphenated strings (eg SomeResourceName <=> some-resource-name)

	/**
	* Returns camel-cased equivalent of (lower-case) hyphenated string.

	* Only transforms ASCII capitals (lack of JavaScript Unicode regexp).

chrisveness / crypto-pbkdf2.js

Last active December 16, 2024 17:21

Uses the SubtleCrypto interface of the Web Cryptography API to hash a password using PBKDF2, and validate a stored password hash against a subsequently supplied password. Note that both bcrypt and scrypt offer better defence against ASIC/GPU attacks, but are not available within WebCrypto.

	/**
	* Returns PBKDF2 derived key from supplied password.
	*
	* Stored key can subsequently be used to verify that a password matches the original password used
	* to derive the key, using pbkdf2Verify().
	*
	* @param {String} password - Password to be hashed using key derivation function.
	* @param {Number} [iterations=1e6] - Number of iterations of HMAC function to apply.
	* @returns {String} Derived key as base64 string.
	*
