Hi team-scrypt! I'll read the spec more carefully once I'm back home, but quickly...
Is there a spec for the crypt function/command line format? Oddly the best spec I've seen is the PHP function by the same name. http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php FreeBSD has some details as well http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/crypt.html and Ulrich Drepper's crypt sha-256/sha-512 impl: http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt Ideally I'd like a crypt-like format e.g. such as $7$... that represents scrypt with related parameters. Given that Ulrich Drepper just wrote a txt file, and didn't appear to submit to an official standards body, I suspect that there is no standard. Any tips here, or possibility of adding an appendix to this spec documenting a crypt-style format? Or is this done, and I'm just not seeing it? thanks Nick Galbreath nickg On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 8:18 PM, Colin Percival <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > In case anyone here is interested in standards processes, you should be > aware that Simon Josefsson has written up scrypt as an Internet Draft > which will hopefully end up turning into an RFC: > http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf-00 > > -- > Colin Percival > Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve > Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
