Seems to work:
#!/usr/bin/python import hashlib import os from base64 import encodestring as encode from base64 import decodestring as decode def makeSecret(password): salt = os.urandom(4) h = hashlib.sha1(password) h.update(salt) return "{SSHA}" + encode(h.digest() + salt) def checkPassword(challenge_password, password): challenge_bytes = decode(challenge_password[6:]) digest = challenge_bytes[:20] salt = challenge_bytes[20:] hr = hashlib.sha1(password) hr.update(salt) return digest == hr.digest() pp = makeSecret("test123") print pp
