`Argon2 <https://github.com/p-h-c/phc-winner-argon2>`_ won the `Password Hashing Competition <https://password-hashing.net/>`_ and ``argon2_cffi`` is the simplest way to use it in Python and PyPy:

``argon2_cffi``\ ’s documentation lives at `Read the Docs <https://argon2-cffi.readthedocs.org/>`_, the code on `GitHub <https://github.com/hynek/argon2_cffi>`_.
It’s rigorously tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+, and PyPy.

Argon2
^^^^^^
The original Argon2 repo can be found at https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2/.
Except for the components listed below, the Argon2 code in this repository is copyright (c) 2015 Daniel Dinu, Dmitry Khovratovich (main authors), Jean-Philippe Aumasson and Samuel Neves, and under CC0_ license.
The string encoding routines in src/encoding.c are copyright (c) 2015 Thomas Pornin, and under CC0_ license.
The `BLAKE2 <https://blake2.net>`_ code in ``src/blake2/`` is copyright (c) Samuel Neves, 2013-2015, and under CC0_ license.
The authors of Argon2 also were very helpful to get the library to compile on ancient versions of Visual Studio for ancient versions of Python.
The documentation also quotes frequently from the Argon2 paper_ to avoid mistakes by rephrasing.

msinttypes
^^^^^^^^^^
In order to be able to compile on Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 which are required for Python 2.6/2.7 and 3.3/3.4 respectively, we also ship two C headers with integer types.
They are from the `msinttypes project <https://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/>`_ (`auto-import on GitHub <https://github.com/chemeris/msinttypes>`_) and licensed under New BSD:

Versions are year-based with a strict backward compatibility policy.
The third digit is only for regressions.
15.0.0 (2015-12-18)

Vendoring ``argon2`` @ `4fe0d8cda37691228dd5a96a310be57369403a4b <https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2/tree/4fe0d8cda37691228dd5a96a310be57369403a4b>`_.
Changes:
^^^^^^^^
- ``verify_password()`` doesn't guess the hash type if passed ``None`` anymore.
Supporting this resulted in measurable overhead (~ 0.6ms vs 0.8ms on my notebook) since it had to happen in Python.
That means that naïve usage of the API would give attackers an edge.
The new behavior is that it has the same default value as ``hash_password()`` such that ``verify_password(hash_password(b"password"), b"password")`` still works.
- Conditionally use the `SSE2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2>`_-optimized version of ``argon2`` on x86 architectures.
- More packaging fixes.
Most notably compilation on Visual Studio 2010 for Python 3.3 and 3.4.
- Tweaked default parameters to more reasonable values.
Verification should take between 0.5ms and 1ms on recent-ish hardware.
