Java implementation of scrypt
A pure Java implementation of the scrypt key derivation function and a JNI
interface to the C implementations, including the SSE2 optimized version.
The Java implementation is based in large part on Colin Percival's
reference implementation contained in crypto_scrypt-ref.c, but any errors
in this port are solely the fault of its author, Will Glozer.

Usage
com.lambdaworks.crypto.SCryptUtil implements a modified version of MCF,
the modular crypt format, similar to the one used for storage of Unix
passwords in the MD5, SHA-256, and bcrypt formats.
SCryptUtil.scrypt(passwd, N, r, p)
SCryptUtil.check(passwd, hashed)
The output of SCryptUtil.scrypt is a string in the modified MCF format:
$s0$params$salt$key
s0 - version 0 of the format with 128-bit salt and 256-bit derived key
params - 32-bit hex integer containing log2(N) (16 bits), r (8 bits), and p (8 bits)
salt - base64-encoded salt
key - base64-encoded derived key
Example:
$s0$e0801$epIxT/h6HbbwHaehFnh/bw==$7H0vsXlY8UxxyW/BWx/9GuY7jEvGjT71GFd6O4SZND0=
passwd = "secret"
N = 16384
r = 8
p = 1
Native Code Implementation
When the native library can be loaded it will be used instead of the pure
Java implementation. On a J2SE compliant JVM the native library will be
extracted from the jar and loaded, and on other VMs System.loadLibrary will
be called.
The system property "com.lambdaworks.jni.loader" may be set to override
the default native library loader with one of the following values:
nil: refuse to load native libraries and revert to pure Java implementation
jar: extract native library from jar and load with System.load
sys: use System.loadLibrary, which may require java.library.path to be set
Maven Artifacts
Releases containing the pure Java implementation, as well as native libraries
for a limited number of platforms, are available in the maven central repository.

Building Native Implementation
A native shared library for the current platform may be built by running GNU
make. The Makefile attempts to detect the runtime platform and JDK location,
but in some cases one or more of the following variables should be passed
to make:
TARGET - target operating system, use "android" to build for Android
SSE2 - use the SSE2 optimized scrypt implementation when set
JAVA_HOME - base directory of a Java 6+ JDK
NDK_ROOT - base directory of Android NDK
A precompiled native library for Android 2.3 running on ARM is located in
src/android/resources/lib/arm5/libscrypt.so. If placed in an .apk file's
lib/armeabi directory it will be automatically loaded.
