Package: python-py-bcrypt @ 0.4

Synopsis

Bcrypt password hashing and key derivation

Description

A python wrapper of OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code. This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking and frustrate fast hardware implementation. The computation cost of the algorithm is parametrised, so it can be increased as computers get faster. The intent is to make a compromise of a password database less likely to result in an attacker gaining knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using John the Ripper).
