Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Description     : Ruby gem with native C extension for the scrypt password hashing algorithm

 scrypt is an hash algorithm that was specifically designed to make it
 costly to perform large-scale custom hardware attacks by requiring
 large amounts of memory. It is used as an alternative to PBKDF2 or
 bcrypt.
 .
 ruby-scrypt provides a simple Ruby library to create and manage
 password hashes in a secure way and it works pretty similarly
 to ruby-bcrypt with a few minor differences, especially where the
 cost factor is concerned.
