Provide Argon2

Open Gankra opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

Argon2 claims to be the state-of-the-art in hard-to-brute-force hashing, basically trying to tackle the same problems as scrypt. The reference impl is in C, we should definitely have a Rust one!

Currently working on this. Not sure how long it'll take, though.

Update: I've written 99% of the code, but I have yet to start testing. That may take a while. Also it will be far slower than the optimized C implementation for obvious reasons.

This looks really good. I suggest we adopt the above implementation over mine.

That implementation is licensed only under MIT. Is that acceptable? Maybe a more senior contributor to this project can get in touch with bryant about changing the license if necessary.

Pull request #347 fixes this.

In what ways would MIT be unacceptable? Could you open an issue in https://github.com/bryant/argon2rs for this? Thanks!
