Password-Hardened Encryption protocol implemented in Go.

Simple Password-Hardened Encryption Services

Virgil Security introduces an implementation of the Password-Hardened Encryption (PHE) protocol that provides developers with a technology to protect users passwords from offline attacks and make stolen passwords useless even if your database has been compromised.

PHE is a new, more secure mechanism that protects user passwords and lessens the security risks associated with weak passwords. Neither Virgil nor attackers know anything about user's password.
