10 Description: | |
11 The scrypt key derivation function was originally developed for use in | |
12 the Tarsnap online backup system and is designed to be far more secure | |
13 against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such | |
14 as PBKDF2 or bcrypt. | |
15 | |
16 We estimate that on modern (2009) hardware, if 5 seconds are spent | |
17 computing a derived key, the cost of a hardware brute-force attack | |
18 against scrypt is roughly 4000 times greater than the cost of a | |
19 similar attack against bcrypt (to find the same password), and 20000 | |
20 times greater than a similar attack against PBKDF2. | |
