Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: use bcrypt and eksblowfish for adaptable cost encryption and password authentication
abstract+;;Quote: performance of crypt password authentication increased from 4 per second in 1976 to 200,000 per second in 1999
85 ;;Quote: password algorithm should not be faster outside of normal use; fast CPU instructions, no bit transposition, no pipelining, no precomputation
86 ;;Quote: generate 128-bit salt from arc4random seeded from the kernel's entropy pool of current time and timing data
86+;;Quote: generate random data from the MD5 hash of an entry pool of timing measurements
