# coding: utf8 """ Securely hash and check passwords using PBKDF2. Use random salts to protect againt rainbow tables, many iterations against brute-force, and constant-time comparaison againt timing attacks. Keep parameters to the algorithm together with the hash so that we can change the parameters and keep older hashes working.
