Has anyone attempted to add support for Blowfish encryption to Crypto.Password? I have some $2y$... prefixed passwords (interfacing with the PHP password_verify()) which I need to verify.
I've looked into it briefly. As I recall, you need access to some low-level functions that AFAIK are not exposed in Nettle.
Indeed. If I were to create that extra access in C, it should go into the Nettle library proper.
What are my chances of getting it added to Nettle? Or would adding it to Pike only, be easier?
When I spoke to Nisse about it ~half a year ago, it sounded like he would likely accept such contributions, but would not implement it himself.
