This is the reference C implementation of Argon2, the password-hashing
|
|
function that won the Password Hashing Competition (PHC).
|
|
|
|
You should use Argon2 whenever you need to hash passwords for
|
|
credential storage, key derivation, or other applications.
|
|
|
|
There are two main versions of Argon2, Argon2i and Argon2d. Argon2i
|
|
is the safest against side-channel attacks, while Argon2d provides
|
|
the highest resistance against GPU cracking attacks.
|
|
|
|
Argon2i and Argon2d are parametrized by
|
|
|
|
* A time cost, which defines the amount of computation realized
|
|
and therefore the execution time, given in number of iterations
|
|
* A memory cost, which defines the memory usage, given in kibibytes
|
|
* A parallelism degree, which defines the number of parallel threads
