Well I must say that I have not been current with all cryptographic advancements. It would appear as though AES256-GCM is excellent for nearly every application. I am using S-crypt which, among other great advancements like slightly-different hashes for the same inputs, exploits the fact that non-sequential memory reads are slightly more expensive than sequential reads, http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt.pdf http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt.pdf
