Description-en: memory-hard hashing function - utility
Argon2 is a password-hashing function that can be used 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
.
This package contains the argon2 tool for hashing data on the command-line.
