scrypt	The scrypt key derivation function.
scrypt_check	scrypt_check compares a password against the result of a previous call to scrypt_simple and returns true if the passed in password hashes to the same value.
scrypt_simple	scrypt_simple is a helper function that should be sufficient for the majority of cases where an application needs to use Scrypt to hash a password for storage. The result is a String that contains the parameters used as part of its encoding. The scrypt_check function may be used on a password to check if it is equal to a hashed value.
