Note: it is always better to use external libargon2 library.
Unfortunately, until Argon2 is in generic crypto libraries,
we must sometimes use bundled version just for bureaucratic reasons.
Let's include optimized variant of reference implementation as well.
Note, this code will not add any SSE compiler switches.
If --enable-internal-sse-argon2 option is used, it checks if current
compilation flags support simple SSE progam and if so, it use
the optimized variant.
(Not tested for AVX optimizations; it expects that SSE is enabled as well.)
The Argon2i/id is a password hashing function that
won Password Hashing Competiton.
It will be (optionally) used in LUKS2 for passworrd-based
key derivation.
We have to bundle code for now (similar PBKDF2 years ago)
because there is yet no usable implementation in common
crypto libraries.
(Once there is native implementation, cryptsetup
will switch to the crypto library version.)
For now, we use reference (not optimized but portable) implementation.
This patch contains bundled Argon2 algorithm library copied from
