All,

Colin and I have published a draft describing Colin's scrypt key
derivation function.  We would appreciate review of the document:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-scrypt-kdf

The input we are seeking here is primarily review of the cryptographic
aspects and correctness of the algorithm description, although all
comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
/Simon
