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