package entropy

import "git.sr.ht/~seirdy/moac/v2/entropy"

Package entropy provides a means to compute entropy of a given random string by analyzing both the charsets used and its length.

Index ¶

• Variables
• func Entropy(password string) float64
• func FromCharsets(charsetsUsed charsets.CharsetCollection, length int) (float64, error)

Variables ¶

var (
	ErrPasswordInvalid = errors.New("invalid password")
)

A valid password is impossible with the given constraints.

Functions ¶

func Entropy ¶

func Entropy(password string) float64

Entropy computes the number of entropy bits in the given password, assumingly it was randomly generated.

func FromCharsets ¶

func FromCharsets(charsetsUsed charsets.CharsetCollection, length int) (float64, error)

FromCharsets computes the number of entropy bits in a string with the given length that utilizes at least one character from each of the given charsets. It does not perform any subsetting/de-duplication upon the given charsets; they are just used as-is.
