Overview
The sasl_scram package provides implementation of SASL SCRAM authentication mechanisms, supporting both SCRAM-SHA-1 and SCRAM-SHA-256. It enables secure password-based authentication for protocols requiring SASL, such as MongoDB or other services using SCRAM. The package is designed for cross-platform use and integrates seamlessly into Flutter applications on Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It handles cryptographic operations securely and follows standard SCRAM protocol specifications.
Use cases
- Secure authentication in database connections
- Implementing SCRAM-based login systems
