Example of using crypto.pbkdf2 to hash and verify passwords asynchronously, while storing the hash and salt in a single combined buffer along with the original hash settings

	var crypto = require('crypto');

	// larger numbers mean better security, less
	var config = {
	// size of the generated hash
	hashBytes: 32,
	// larger salt means hashed passwords are more resistant to rainbow table, but
	// you get diminishing returns pretty fast
	saltBytes: 16,
	// more iterations means an attacker has to take longer to brute force an

Example of using crypto.pbkdf2 to hash and verify passwords asynchronously using bluebird promise, while storing the hash and salt in a single combined buffer along with the original hash settings

	var Promise = require('bluebird');
	var crypto = Promise.promisifyAll(require("crypto"));

	// http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/110084/parameters-for-pbkdf2-for-password-hashing
	var config = {
	hashBytes : 64, // size of the generated hash (to be chosen accordint the the chosen algo)
	saltBytes : 16, // sise of the salt : larger salt means hashed passwords are more resistant to rainbow table
	iterations : 500000, // tune so that hashing the password takes about 1 second
	algo :'sha512',
	encoding : 'base64' // hex is readable but base64 is shorter
