The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'The scrypt Password-Based Key Derivation Function' <draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf-03.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2015-09-07. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the password-based key derivation function scrypt. The function derives one or more secret keys from a secret string. It is based on memory-hard functions which offer added protection against attacks using custom hardware. The document also provides an ASN.1 schema. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
