argon2 password hashing for Python

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Argon2 is a secure password hashing algorithm. Is is designed to have both a configurable runtime as well as memory consumption. The current workhorses of password hashing are unquestionably bcrypt and PBKDF2. And while they're still fine to use, the password cracking community embraced new technologies like GPUs and ASICs to crack passwords in a highly parallel fashion. An effective measure against extreme parallelism proved making computation of password hashes also memory hard. Between 2012 and 2015, the password hashing competition took place to find a new, secure, and future-proof password hashing algorithm. The winner of this competition was announced as Argon2.
