I'm curious - what makes scrypt superior to bcrypt?

• lucian1900 14y ago
  In addition to being time-hard (like pbkdf2 and bcrypt), it is also space-hard.

  The space-hard is important for people throwing 10000 GPU cores at the problem. Bcrypt is more susceptible as it was designed before the million-core world came about; scrypt will continue to thwart due to memory constraints.
