Hello, I would like to know how we can trust this source concerning scrypt : http://code.dlang.org/packages/scrypt-d And second : will there be any official package in D ? The same goes for bcrypt and sha2 cryptographic algo. Thanks, Larry |

By reading its source code if that is important.

Posted in reply to Larry | Thanks, But, 1) By trusted, I meant : that one with good background used and thinks is good (i am not skilled enough to tell) -> no memory leaks, no big f*****g breach. Well if it is cryptographically strong or not. Again, I cannot judge of it. But thanks to remind people to read before asking. 2) I might have missed it but Openssl doesn't enable people to crypt passwords, it enables us to secure the communication layer, does it? Thanks, Larry |

Looks to me like it's just a wrapper around a C library, so it's not really whether you can trust that source as it is whether you can trust the C library.
