Benjamin, what's your take on Alex's suggestion? <Crys> gutworth: Alex_Gaynor has asked me if hashlib.scrypt() can go into 2.7, too. It's a password-based KDF like hashlib.pbkdf2() but more secure than PBKDF2. It requires OpenSSL 1.1.0. <Alex_Gaynor> gutworth: I think it'd be good if this were approved, for the same reasons as PEP466 <Crys> contrary to PKBDF2 it doesn't make sense to have a pure-Python implementation. scrypt uses ChaCha20 cipher. I don't want to add a cipher to CPython core (possible legal issue) and it's not available in OpenSSL < 1.1.0. |
