%description
libxcrypt is a modern library for one-way hashing of passwords. It
supports a wide variety of both modern and historical hashing methods:
yescrypt, bcrypt, SHA-2-512, SHA-2-256, SHA-1, MD5 (two variants),
DES (three variants), and NTHASH. It provides the traditional Unix
crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well as a set of extended interfaces
pioneered by Openwall Linux, crypt_rn, crypt_ra, crypt_gensalt,
crypt_gensalt_rn, and crypt_gensalt_ra.

md5crypt, SunMD5, sha1crypt, NT, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, and descrypt.
It provides the traditional Unix crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well
as a set of extended interfaces pioneered by Openwall Linux, crypt_rn,
crypt_ra, crypt_gensalt, crypt_gensalt_rn, and crypt_gensalt_ra.
libxcrypt is intended to be used by login(1), passwd(1), and other
similar applications; that is, to hash a small number of passwords
during an interactive authentication dialogue with a human. It is
not suitable for use in bulk password-cracking applications, or in
any other situation where speed is more important than careful
handling of sensitive data. However, it is intended to be fast and
lightweight enough for use in servers that must field thousands of
login attempts per minute.

This version of the library does not provide the legacy API functions
that have been provided by glibc's libcrypt.so.1.
