A collection of password hashing functions, using ring cryptographic primitives

Why?

The ring library for Rust provides many high-performance cryptographic primitives, but does not implement any password hashing functions except PBKDF2.

This library implements password hashing algorithms based on ring's cryptographic primitives, serving as a "companion library" for applications that want to leverage ring as their one-and-only cryptography library, and also providing high-performance password hash implementations thanks to the speed of ring's core primitives.

Supported Algorithms

  • scrypt: Colin Percival's Salsa20/8+PBKDF2-based password hashing function

No other algorithms are supported at this time, although it'd be great to add additional algorithms! Argon2 and bcrypt are both good candidates. Pull Requests Accepted!
