@omusil24 do you have a library in mind that provides support for these algorithms?
@davidnich I didn't do research about it yet, but if you want, I can take a look tomorrow.
bcrypt comes from OpenBSD. It's part of libc on BSD systems, afaik. Here's their bcrypt and PBKDF2 implementation: https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/lib/libc/crypt https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/lib/libutil
scrypt comes from Tarsnap project. It's been tested on most current platforms: http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html
Here's an example password library for Python (implementing many hashing algorithms): https://passlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html
@omusil24 let's discuss the need for this and the priority
These algorithms are needed for example for safe hashing of passwords.
