PHP scrypt module

This is a PHP library providing a wrapper to Colin Percival's scrypt implementation. Scrypt is a key derivation function designed to be far more secure against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such as PBKDF2 or bcrypt.

Details of the scrypt key derivation function are given in a paper by Colin Percival, Stronger Key Derivation via Sequential Memory-Hard Functions: PDF.

An example class using this module can be found in; scrypt.php

    extension=scrypt.so

Windows

Using Visual Studio 2008 (or Visual C++ Express 2008) open up the attached project inside the VS2008 folder. This project assumes you have the PHP thread safe source at; C:\phpsrcts\, a PHP install at C:\php\ and this source code extracted to C:\php-scrypt\.

1. Build the project.
2. Copy the resultant scrypt.dll to your ext directory in PHP.
3. Add the extension to your php.ini

    ; Enable scrypt extension module
    extension=scrypt.dll
