scrypt key derivation functions for R
Description
scrypt is an R package for working with scrypt. Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function created by Colin Percival. The algorithm was specifically designed to make it costly to perform large-scale custom hardware attacks by requiring large amounts of memory.
