[Bug libc/13286] New: RFE: bcrypt support

             Bug #: 13286
           Summary: RFE: bcrypt support
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: lsof@nodata.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified


Please could bcrypt support be added to glibc so that we have a modern, safe
way of storing passwords?

Background and justification is here:
 http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/

Summary of link:
 Modern hardware can crack standard encrypted passwords very fast (even if they
use a salt). bcrypt is a solution to this.
