Argon2
2015 password-based key derivation function
2015 password-based key derivation function
Argon2 is a key derivation function that was selected as the winner of the 2015 Password Hashing Competition. It was designed by Alex Biryukov, Daniel Dinu, and Dmitry Khovratovich from the University of Luxembourg. The reference implementation of Argon2 is released under a Creative Commons CC0 license (i.e. public domain) or the Apache License 2.0. The Argon2 function uses a large, fixed-size memory region (often called the 'memory array' in documentation) to make brute-force attacks computationally expensive. The three variants differ in how they access this memory: Argon2d maximizes resistance to GPU cracking attacks. It accesses the memory array in a password-dependent order, which reduces the possibility of time–memory trade-off (TMTO) attacks, but introduces possible side-channel attacks. Argon2i is optimized to resist side-channel attacks. It accesses the memory array in a password-independent order. Argon2id is a hybrid version. It follows the Argon2i approach for the first half...
