# The security/py-scrypt,python3 port

## py3-scrypt-0.8.18 – support for the scrypt key derivation function

## Description

    This is a set of Python bindings for the scrypt key derivation function.

    Scrypt is useful when encrypting passwords as it is possible to specify a
    *minimum* amount of time to use when encrypting and decrypting. If, for
    example, a password takes 0.05 seconds to verify, a user won't notice
    the slight delay when signing in, but doing a brute force search of
    several billion passwords will take a considerable amount of time. This
    is in contrast to more traditional hash functions such as MD5 or the SHA
    family which can be implemented extremely fast on cheap hardware.
