I would like to put my two cents on this subject (although,
disclaimer : I am not a professional in security).

First of all, the documentation of gb.crypt is completely wrong. As Tobias says, its methods have *nothing* to do with encryption : ...

Not my fault:

$ man crypt

CRYPT(3)

NAME
       crypt, crypt_r - password and data encryption
...

But you are right. The documentation should be updated with emphasis on hashing instead of encryption, and an explanation of the risks.

And SHA-1 and SHA-2 are provided too for better security.
