## py3-bcrypt-0.4p0 – bcrypt blowfish password hashing for Python

## Description

    py-bcrypt is a Python wrapper of OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code,
    as described in "A Future-Adaptable Password Scheme" by Niels Provos and
    David Mazières.

    This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's
    Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost of
    off-line password cracking and frustrate fast hardware implementation.
    The computation cost of the algorithm is parametised, so it can be
    increased as computers get faster. The intent is to make a compromise
    of a password database less likely to result in an attacker gaining
    knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using John the Ripper).
