Argon2 limits choice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am wondering if there are objective reasons for such conservative **upper** **hard** limits for Argon?

} else if (!strcmp(kdf, "argon2i") || !strcmp(kdf, "argon2id")) {
   limits->max_iterations = UINT32_MAX;
   limits->max_memory     = 4*1024*1024; /* 4GiB */
   limits->max_parallel   = 4;
}


(well, apart from UINT32_MAX, which makes sense, kind of)

Just to reiterate, I am not talking about minimum values, or default values. The question is about upper limits.

P.S.
I was personally thinking about using ~32 threads and ~128GiB of RAM as KDF parameters...
