It represents a maximum amount of memory required to perform password
hashing. It is often used with OpsLimit.
For interactive, online operations, OpsLimit::Interactive and
MemLimit::Interactive provide base line for these two parameters. This
requires 64 MB of dedicated RAM. Higher values may improve security.
Alternatively, OpsLimit::Moderate and MemLimit::Moderate can be used.
This requires 256 MB of dedicated RAM, and takes about 0.7 seconds on a
2.8 Ghz Core i7 CPU.
For highly sensitive data and non-interactive operations,
OpsLimit::Sensitive and MemLimit::Sensitive can be used. With these
parameters, deriving a key takes about 3.5 seconds on a 2.8 Ghz Core i7 CPU
and requires 1024 MB of dedicated RAM.
