argon2min

Minimal Argon2 password hashing for the AIngle ecosystem

---

Overview

A pure Rust implementation of the Argon2 password hashing algorithm, providing both Argon2i and Argon2d variants. This library is designed for secure password hashing and password-based key derivation within the AIngle distributed systems framework.

Features

• Pure Rust - No C dependencies, safe and portable
• Argon2i - Side-channel resistant, recommended for password hashing
• Argon2d - Faster variant for non-interactive scenarios
• Constant-time verification - Prevents timing attacks
• Zero-on-drop - Sensitive data is securely erased from memory

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
argon2min = "0.1"

Usage

use argon2min;

fn main() {
    let password = "secure_password";
    let salt = "random_salt_value";

    // Argon2i - recommended for password hashing
    let hash = argon2min::argon2i_simple(password, salt);

    println!("Hash: {}", hex::encode(&hash));
}

Variants

Variant	Use Case	Security
Argon2i	Password hashing, key derivation	Side-channel resistant
Argon2d	Cryptocurrency, non-interactive	Faster, data-dependent
