scrypt: scrypt (scrypt encryption utility)
scrypt:

+scrypt: The scrypt key derivation function was originally developed for use in
+scrypt: the Tarsnap online backup system and is designed to be far more secure
+scrypt: against hardware brute-force attacks than alternative functions such
+scrypt: as PBKDF2 or bcrypt. A simple password-based encryption utility and an
+scrypt: optional library are available as a demonstration of the scrypt key
+scrypt: derivation function.
