Never ever use CRC32 in a crypto context, it's completely unsuited and
easily cracked. The subject of this thread is already about finding an
implementation for scrypt, which is a (at this time considered) secure
hashing algorithm.


My point is precisely that in this situation, there would be nothing to
crypt. Just check validity.

Yes, that's what *secure* hash functions are for. CRC32 is not secure in any
way. scrypt and bcrypt are secure.

this is what brought me here looking for SCrypt code... i had already found that BCrypt is easily cracked ;)
