No. That's why it's a separate constant. As newer, stronger hashing options become available, the default is designed to change over time. I'll update the RFC to indicate such. > * Is this a native version of phpass? http://www.openwall.com/phpass/ In a sense, yes. It's designed to have a dirt-simple API (similar to yours) built in to the core.
