-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-13107 2010-08-20 00:57:06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : py-bcrypt Product : Fedora 13 Version : 0.2 Release : 4.fc13 URL : http://www.mindrot.org/projects/py-bcrypt/ Summary : Python bindings for OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code Description : python-bcrypt is a Python wrapper of OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code, as described in "A Future-Adaptable Password Scheme" by Niels Provos and David Mazières. This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking and frustrate fast hardware implementation. The computation cost of the algorithm is parametised, so it can be increased as computers get faster. The intent is to make a compromise of a password database less likely to result in an attacker gaining knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using John the Ripper). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update py-bcrypt' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
