Makwa is a password hashing function designed by Thomas Pornin. This implementation is in pure python with no 3rd party dependencies. From the `Passwords14 Slides`_:

.. code::

    Makwa is a candidate to the Password Hashing Competition.

    Main characteristics:

    * based on modular arithmetics

    * CPU-only cost (not memory-hard)

    * algebraic structure enables advanced features: offline work

    * factor increase, fast path, escrow

    * can be delegated

    * named after the Ojibwe name for the American black bear

Usage

=====

.. code:: python

    from makwa import hashpw, checkpw

    hashed_pw = hashpw(

        password,

        n,

        h=,

        salt=,

        work_factor=,

        pre_hash=,

        post_hash=

    )

    # returns a boolean

    is_valid = checkpw(

        password,

        hashed_pw,

        n,

        h=

    )
