Gigya Password Validation Tool

A PHP Script that will allow you to validate a password hash to ensure compatibility with Gigya. You are able to add custom algorithms using a simple class.

New Algorithm Setup

It can take a very short time to set up a new algorithm on the tool - simply copy the template from template/TEMPLATE.algorithm.php and paste it in to /algorithms.

As an example - to implement logic for a SHA512 hash rename the filename and class names to the name of your algorithm.

SHA512.algorithm.php

Modifying the class to be called class SHA512 extends Algorithm

There are a few configuration items that define the rules for this algorithm.

$this->displayName = "Template";
$this->gigyaAlgorithm = "template";
$this->requiresSalt = false;
$this->requiresURL = false;

• Display Name - Is the name of the algorithm for the front end of the application
• gigyaAlgorithm - Is the actual function name that should be included in the JSON Import file (This must be already set up within Gigya).
• requiresSalt - If a salt is a required parameter
• requiresURL - If the specific hashing algorithm requires a URL parameter

The validate function of this class provides hashing information from the front end that can be used to create logic to validate the hash.

• $passToHash - The plain text password based off the hash format (i.e. Gigya1234)
• $plainPassword - The plain text password (i.e. Gigya)
• $hashedPassword - The hashed version of the password to validate against (E97B3CB33062122832AAED32A34016A0D52D0A4272875757084976C643A3FDD09DF3BF628E7106504FCFED7BA131869BFC8CE1C6E0F2BEB3CEDD6894331AB220)
• $salt - The salt that is used in the password (i.e. 1234)
• $hashFormat - The password hash format to determine location of the salt ($password$salt)
• $rounds - The amount of hashing rounds (i.e. 1)
• $passEncType - If the password provided in the UI is either a hex or base64 value
• $saltEncType - If the salt provided in the UI is either a hex or base64 value
• $url - The URL endpoint passed in the UI

The template in the validate function allows you to define what specific password settings are needed for the import file. An example of a fully generated template looks like

{
  "password": "0oob6zSvBZ6wcBQI7/YxDo+nJ2U6VCpEP17+dJRBA4E=",
  "hashSettings": {
    "algorithm": "sha256",
    "rounds": 1,
    "salt": "123",
    "format": "$password$salt"
  }
}

The final part is to include your implementation of the hashing algorithm and return either true or false to confirm $hashedPassword matches the hashed version of $passToHash
