i've found scrypt for delphi but desire to use it cross-platform and don't

for FPC or lazarus that is easily implemented and used?

Did you try dcrypt, I think it works with FPC ? Also, there is a hmac unit in
fpc, as well as a sha1 unit. It should work cross-platform, but there is an
optimized version for i386.

no, i haven't heard of dcrypt... i'm specifically after scrypt for securing passwords in a database... i don't know if dcrypt is using a different method than scrypt or if that's just the name of the code...

It is of course DCPCrypt:

As for the exact algorithm: there are many algorithms available, you can choose 
any one, really.

Unless you're writing military grade or intelligence agency applications, I don't think it really matters which one you use...

Michael.
