Pure Rust implementation of the [Argon2] password hashing function.

[Documentation][docs-link]

# About

Argon2 is a memory-hard [key derivation function] chosen as the winner of
the [Password Hashing Competition] in July 2015.

It implements the following three algorithmic variants:

- **Argon2d**: maximizes resistance to GPU cracking attacks
- **Argon2i**: optimized to resist side-channel attacks
- **Argon2id**: (default) hybrid version combining both Argon2i and Argon2d

Support is provided for embedded (i.e. `no_std`) environments, including
ones without `alloc` support.

## Minimum Supported Rust Version

Rust **1.65** or higher.

Minimum supported Rust version can be changed in the future, but it will be
done with a minor version bump.

## SemVer Policy

- All on-by-default features of this library are covered by SemVer
- MSRV is considered exempt from SemVer as noted above
