RustCrypto: Password Hashing Traits

Traits which describe the functionality of [password hashing algorithms].

Documentation

About

Provides a no_std-friendly implementation of the Password Hashing Competition (PHC) string format specification (a well-defined subset of the Modular Crypt Format a.k.a. MCF) which works in conjunction with the traits this crate defines.

Supported Crates

See [RustCrypto/password-hashes] for algorithm implementations which use this crate for interoperability:

• [argon2] - Argon2 memory hard key derivation function
• [pbkdf2] - Password-Based Key Derivation Function v2
• [scrypt] - scrypt key derivation function

Minimum Supported Rust Version

Rust 1.60 or higher.

Minimum supported Rust version may be changed in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor version bump.
