Trait PasswordHash 

pub trait PasswordHash: Send + Sync {
    // Required methods
    fn name(&self) -> &'static str;
    fn hash_password(
        &self,
        password: &[u8],
        salt: &[u8],
        params: &dyn PasswordHashParams,
        out: &mut [u8],
    ) -> Result<(), CryptoError>;
}

Password-hashing function (Argon2id, PBKDF2, scrypt, …).

Distinct from Kdf because password KDFs expose memory/time/parallelism tuning that is irrelevant for stream KDFs like HKDF.

Required Methods

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

Human-readable algorithm identifier (e.g. "Argon2id").

fn hash_password( &self, password: &[u8], salt: &[u8], params: &dyn PasswordHashParams, out: &mut [u8], ) -> Result<(), CryptoError>

Hash password with salt using the given params; write output into out.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
