Replace PBKDF2 with Argon2 #1141

Open DLL125 opened 1 year ago

DLL125 commented 1 year ago

Hello @idrassi

Would it be possible to replace PBKDF2 with the more secure argon2 (I suppose Argon2id would be the best in this case)

I know you've answered this question a few years ago however I suppose things have happend since then especially since LUKS2 has implemented argon2.

I would also like to ask what some of the long standing issues are that needs to be adressed in the 1.26 series? Thanks

This is easy to do for containers. For system encryption it is quite a challenge.

Just the container version would be a great leap. Please consider it.

Thanks for your work! Keep it up.

What's the problem just implementing this for containers and not system encryption?

To do it right, we need to migrate all the cryptography to Botan, that's a lot of work and testing
