Pure Rust implementation of the Balloon password hashing function.
This crate contains an implementation of the Balloon password hashing function as specified in the paper Balloon Hashing: A Memory-Hard Function Providing Provable Protection Against Sequential Attacks.
This algorithm is first practical password hashing function that provides:
- Memory hardness which is proven in the random-oracle model
- Password-independent access
- Performance which meets or exceeds the best heuristically secure password-hashing algorithms
Rust 1.81 or higher.
Minimum supported Rust version can be changed in the future, but it will be done with a minor version bump.
- All on-by-default features of this library are covered by SemVer
- MSRV is considered exempt from SemVer as noted above
