crypt(3) interface to scrypt
Colin,
As far as I understand, scrypt-1.1.6 is a file encryption program only,
however one of the primary uses for the scrypt key derivation function
is to hash operating system and website users' passwords.
Does a crypt(3) interface to scrypt exist? Do you have a proposed
encoding to use for the "setting" string (consisting of a hash type
identifier, a salt, and parameters)?
Or do you consider scrypt not mature enough, with incompatible changes
pending?
Thanks,
Alexander
