Project description

libxcrypt is a library that provides strong cryptographic hashes for password hashing, such as bcrypt and yescrypt, as well as a number of legacy ones for backward compatibility (e.g. sha256).

It is API- and ABI-compatible with libcrypt.so.1 provided by glibc. glibc intends to drop the library eventually: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2017-08/msg01257.html

This is a first step towards transitioning whole nixpkgs from libcrypt bundled in glibc, as described here: #112371
