* Package name : python-scrypt Version : 0.5.3 Upstream Author : Magnus Hallin <mhal...@gmail.com> * URL : http://bitbucket.org/mhallin/py-scrypt * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : Python bindings for the scrypt key derivation function library This is a set of Python bindings for the scrypt key derivation function. . Scrypt is useful when encrypting password as it is possible to specify a minimum amount of time to use when encrypting and decrypting. If, for example, a password takes 0.05 seconds to verify, a user won't notice the slight delay when signing in, but doing a brute force search of several billion passwords will take a considerable amount of time. This is in contrast to more traditional hash functions such as MD5 or the SHA family which can be implemented extremely fast on cheap hardware. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
