I'm trying to think of a function to replace UNIX's crypt(3). My design criteria are as follows:
Why? UNIX passwords with password shadowing are as secure as any password system is going to get. If your security holes are with passwords, its because your admin is to lazy to install needed security provissions, not because the system of checking passwords is bad. If you're worried about network sniffing and the like, get SSH. Other than that you're wasting your time. --Deviant Without followers, evil cannot spread. -- Spock, "And The Children Shall Lead", stardate 5029.5
