Replace OpenSSL with libsodium and argon2id
The SHA256-based password hashing algorithm used by slcl(1) and usergen(1) is considered insecure against several kinds of attacks, including brute force attacks. [1] Therefore, a stronger password hashing algorithm based on the Argon2id key derivation function is now used by default. While OpenSSL does support Argon2id, it is only supported by very recent versions [2], which are still not packaged by most distributions as of the time of this writing. [3] As an alternative to OpenSSL, libsodium [4] had several benefits: - It provides easy-to-use functions for password hashing, base64 encoding/decoding and other cryptographic primitives used by slcl(1) and usergen(1). - It is packaged by most distributions [5], and most often only the patch version differs, which ensures good compatibility across distributions. Unfortunately, and as opposed to OpenSSL, libsodium does not come with command-line tools. Therefore, usergen(1) had to be rewritten in C. In order to maintain backwards compatiblity with existing databases, slcl(1) and usergen(1) shall support the insecure, SHA256-based password hashing algorithm. However, Argon2id shall now be the default choice for usergen(1).
