Makwa is a password hashing function designed by Thomas Pornin. This implementation is in pure python with no 3rd party dependencies. From the `Passwords14 Slides`_:

.. code::

    Makwa is a candidate to the Password Hashing Competition.

    Main characteristics:
    * based on modular arithmetics
    * CPU-only cost (not memory-hard)
    * algebraic structure enables advanced features: offline work
    * factor increase, fast path, escrow
    * can be delegated
    * named after the Ojibwe name for the American black bear

Usage
=====

.. code:: python

    from makwa import hashpw, checkpw

    hashed_pw = hashpw(
        password,
        n,
        h=<hash function>,
        salt=<optional salt>,
        work_factor=<rounds>,
        pre_hash=<True|False>,
        post_hash=<length|None>
    )
    # returns a boolean
    is_valid = checkpw(
        password,
