# Authkey Algorithm

The authkey is generated with the following algorithm / scrypt parameters:

var generate_authkey = function (username, password) {

    var salt = sha512(username.toLowerCase());

    var u = 14; // 2^14 = 16MB
    var r = 8;
    var p = 1;
    var l = 64; // 64 Bytes = 512 Bits

    var authkey = to_hex(scrypt(encode_utf8(password), salt, u, r, p, l));

    return authkey;
};
