Rust password hashing functions: Argon2, scrypt, PBKDF2 by jph

I’m evaluating Rust password hashing functions, specifically Argon2, scrypt, PBKDF2. I’m using the RustCrypto open source implementations. I have three simple demos in case you want to try these yourself:* https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/demo-rust-argon2* https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/demo-rust-scrypt* https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/demo-rust-pbkdf2I’m seeking advice please, such as pros and cons. The context is medical software where hashing is on generally modern machines. I’m aware

The Math of Password Hashing Algorithms and Entropy by mooreds

SecurityBy Brian PontarelliHere’s the reality, billions of credentials have been leaked or stolen and are now easily downloaded online by anyone. Many of these databases of identities include passwords in plain text, while others are one-way hashed. One-way hashing is better (we’ll get to why in a second), but it is only as secure as
