How about something like: The scrypt algorithm is a password-based key derivation function designed to require large amounts of memory. This proof-of-work scheme is intended to make it costly to perform large-scale hardware attacks. . This package contains a shared library implementing the scrypt algorithm, based on the original implementation with a number of harnesses and simplified interfaces. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
