Any chance we can get Argon2 support for crypt in glibc? If we get it, we probably won't need PBKDF2 (which is better than sha512crypt) or bcrypt.

I'd create a patch myself if I knew how.
Comment 2 devel 2018-03-27 21:41:31 IST 
I would like to add argon2 support to openldap (slapd). The best approach for this endeavour seems to be using the integrated support for crypt (see [1]).

Thus I am interesting (and willing to work on) adding support for argon2 to crypt.

Given the response from Rich Felker in [2], I am unsure, if this is desirable from the point of view of glibc maintainers.

Thus I would like to ask before starting to work on this: do you think that direct support for argon2 could be suitable for the crypt function?

Thank you for your time!

Cheers,
Lars
