Description : Argon2 is a password-hashing function that summarizes the state of the art
: in the design of memory-hard functions and can be used to hash passwords
: for credential storage, key derivation, or other applications.
:
: It has a simple design aimed at the highest memory filling rate and
: effective use of multiple computing units, while still providing defense
: against tradeoff attacks (by exploiting the cache and memory organization
: of the recent processors).
:
: Argon2 has three variants: Argon2i, Argon2d, and Argon2id.
:
: * Argon2d is faster and uses data-depending memory access, which makes it
: highly resistant against GPU cracking attacks and suitable for applications
: with no threats from side-channel timing attacks (eg. cryptocurrencies).
: * Argon2i instead uses data-independent memory access, which is preferred for
: password hashing and password-based key derivation, but it is slower as it
: makes more passes over the memory to protect from tradeoff attacks.
: * Argon2id is a hybrid of Argon2i and Argon2d, using a combination of
: data-depending and data-independent memory accesses, which gives some of
: Argon2i's resistance to side-channel cache timing attacks and much of
: Argon2d's resistance to GPU cracking attacks.
