OK.

OK. I used:

    @code{libscrypt} implements @code{scrypt} key derivation function.
    It is designed to be far more secure against hardware brute-force
    attacks than alternative functions such as @code{PBKDF2} or
    @code{bcrypt}.

Let me know if that isn't enough (though I wouldn't know what to say in
addition to the above).

Applied. Thank you.
