Sourceval crypt : ?derivation:key_derivation -> ?salt:string -> string -> string

crypt ?derivation ~salt key is the password encryption function. It is based on the Data Encryption Standard algorithm with variations intended (among other things) to discourage use of hardware implementations of a key search.

  • parameter salt

    Salt is a two-character string chosen from the set a-zA-Z0-9./.

  • parameter key

    Key is a user's typed password.

  • returns

    Encrypted password.
