Installation
============
A working C compiler is required because the official Argon2 C implementation is shipped along with the Python CFFI bindings.
Otherwise a plain ``pip install argon2_cffi`` should just work.
Binary `wheels <http://pythonwheels.com>`_ are offered for OS X and Windows.
Hands-on
========
``argon2_cffi`` comes with hopefully reasonable defaults for Argon2 parameters that result in a verification time of between 0.5ms and 1ms on reasonably recent hardware.
But of course, you can set them yourself if you wish:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> argon2.hash_password(
... b"secret", b"somesalt",
... time_cost=1, # number of iterations
... memory_cost=8, # used memory in KiB
... parallelism=1, # number of threads used; changes hash!
... hash_len=64, # length of resulting raw hash
... type=argon2.Type.D, # choose Argon2i or Argon2d
... )

The raw hash can also be computed.
The function takes the same parameters as ``hash_password()``:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> argon2.hash_password_raw(b"secret", b"somesalt")
b'\xd8\x87h5X%U<[\xf7\x0e\x18T\x9a\x96\xf3'
Choosing Parameters
-------------------
Finding the right parameters for a password hashing algorithm is a daunting task.
The authors of Argon2 specified a method in their `paper <https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2/blob/master/argon2-specs.pdf>`_ but it should be noted that they also mention that no value for ``time_cost`` or ``memory_cost`` is actually insecure (cf. section 6.4).
#. Choose whether you want Argon2i or Argon2d (``type``).
If you don't know what that means, choose Argon2i (``Type.I``).
#. Figure out how many threads can be used on each call to Argon2 (``parallelism``).
They recommend twice as many as the number of cores dedicated to hashing passwords.
#. Figure out how much memory each call can afford (``memory_cost``).
#. Choose a salt length.
16 Bytes are fine.
#. Choose a hash length (``hash_len``).
16 Bytes are fine.
#. Figure out how long each call can take.
One `recommendation <https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/about-us/newsroom-and-events/blog/2015/march/enough-with-the-salts-updates-on-secure-password-schemes/>`_ for concurent user logins is to keep it under 0.5ms.
#. Measure the time for hashing using your chosen parameters.
Find a ``time_cost`` that is within your accounted time.
If ``time_cost=1`` takes too long, lower ``memory_cost``.
CLI
^^^
To aid you with finding the parameters, ``argon2_cffi`` offers a CLI interface that can be accessed using ``python -m argon2``.
It will benchmark Argon2s *password verification* in the current environment.
You can use command line arguments to set hashing parameters:
.. code-block:: text
$ python -m argon2 -t 1 -m 512 -p 2
Running Argon2i 100 times with:
hash_len: 16
memory_cost: 512
parallelism: 2
time_cost: 1
Measuring...
0.418ms per password verification
This should make it much easier to determine the right parameters for your use case and your environment.
``argon2_cffi``\ s documentation lives at `Read the Docs <https://argon2-cffi.readthedocs.org/>`_, the code on `GitHub <https://github.com/hynek/argon2_cffi>`_.
Its rigorously tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+, and PyPy.

Argon2
======
.. note::
**TL;DR**: Use Argon2\ **i** to securely hash your passwords.
Argon2 is a secure password hashing algorithm.
It is designed to have both a configurable runtime as well as memory consumption.
This means that you can decide how long it takes to hash a password and how much memory is required.
Argon2 comes in two variants:
Argon2\ **d** is faster and uses data-depending memory access, which makes it suitable for cryptocurrencies and applications with no threats from side-channel timing attacks.
Argon2\ **i** uses data-independent memory access, which is preferred for password hashing and password-based key derivation. Argon2i is slower as it makes more passes over the memory to protect from tradeoff attacks.
Why “just use bcrypt” Is Not the Answer
---------------------------------------
There's an unfortunate meme to respond to questions of storage of secrets like passwords to “just use bcrypt_”.
The problem is, neither bcrypt nor its closest NIST-approved competitor PBKDF2_ are fit for hashing passwords in the days of ASIC_ password breakers.
In a nutshell, password crackers are able to create highly parallelized hardware specifically tailored to crack computationally expensive password hashes.
An effective measure against extreme parallelism proved making computation of password hashes also *memory* hard.
The best known implementation of that approach is to date scrypt_.
However according to the `Argon2 paper`_, page 2:
[…] the existence of a trivial time-memory tradeoff allows compact implementations with the same energy cost.
Therefore a new algorithm was needed.

Password Hashing Competition
----------------------------
The `Password Hashing Competition`_ took place between 2012 and 2015 to find a new, secure, and future-proof password hashing algorithm.
Previously the NIST was in charge but after certain events and revelations_ their integrity has been put into question by the general public.
So a group of independent cryptographers and security researchers came together.
In the end, Argon2 was announced_ as the winner.

Backward Compatibility
======================
``argon2_cffi`` has a very strong backward compatibility policy.
Generally speaking, you shouldn't ever be afraid of updating.
If breaking changes are needed do be done, they are:
#. …announced in the changelog_.
#. …the old behavior raises a :exc:`DeprecationWarning` for a year.
#. …are done with another announcement in the changelog_.
What explicitly *may* change over time are the default hashing parameters.

Installation
============
A working C compiler is required because the official Argon2 C implementation is shipped along with the Python CFFI bindings.
Otherwise a plain ``pip install argon2_cffi`` should just work.
Binary `wheels <http://pythonwheels.com>`_ are offered for OS X and Windows.

Choosing Parameters
===================
Finding the right parameters for a password hashing algorithm is a daunting task.
The authors of Argon2 specified a method in their `paper <https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2/blob/master/argon2-specs.pdf>`_ but it should be noted that they also mention that no value for ``time_cost`` or ``memory_cost`` is actually insecure (cf. section 6.4).
#. Choose whether you want Argon2i or Argon2d (``type``).
If you don't know what that means, choose Argon2i (``Type.I``).
#. Figure out how many threads can be used on each call to Argon2 (``parallelism``).
They recommend twice as many as the number of cores dedicated to hashing passwords.
#. Figure out how much memory each call can afford (``memory_cost``).
#. Choose a salt length.
16 Bytes are fine.
#. Choose a hash length (``hash_len``).
16 Bytes are fine.
#. Figure out how long each call can take.
One `recommendation <https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/about-us/newsroom-and-events/blog/2015/march/enough-with-the-salts-updates-on-secure-password-schemes/>`_ for concurent user logins is to keep it under 0.5ms.
#. Measure the time for hashing using your chosen parameters.
Find a ``time_cost`` that is within your accounted time.
If ``time_cost=1`` takes too long, lower ``memory_cost``.
