Hi Nikita, I think you might just get everyone behind this; easily! However, I'd like to throw in scrypt as well. Thoughts? Stas has the right approach, not only should the methods be simplified and platform/algorithm agnostic but have a proper salt built in (there are a few CSPRNG implementations around), I've seen salts used from numbers to md5's to just being skipped altogether. ~ Daniel Macedo
