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).
