This extension provides password hashing algorithms used by Linux distributions.

• sha512 ($6$) provided for legacy as used on some old distributions (ex: RHEL-8)
• yescrypt ($y$) used on modern distributions

Notices: these are fast, don't expect high security level.

Computation time

• bcrypt: 0.33"
• argon2i: 0.53"
• argon2id: 0.55"
• sha512: 0.01"
• yescrypt: 0,08"

• Official git repository: https://git.remirepo.net/cgit/tools/php-xpass.git/
• Mirror on github for contributors: https://github.com/remicollet/php-xpass

You need the Extended crypt library development files (libxcrypt-devel)
