Description-en: scrypt shared library
The scrypt algorithm is a password-based key derivation function
designed to require large amounts of memory. This proof-of-work scheme
is intended to make it costly to perform large-scale hardware
attacks.
..
This package contains a shared library implementing the scrypt
algorithm, based on the original implementation with a number of
harnesses and simplified interfaces.
