Module Scrypt_kdf
The scrypt Password-Based Key Derivation Function Internet Draft specifies the password-based key derivation function scrypt. The function derives one or more secret keys from a secret string. It is based on memory-hard functions which offer added protection against attacks using custom hardware.
