Blowfish encryption for local passwords

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

 



Hi guys,

Is there a reason why fedora does not support blowfish (at least through the various included tools, system-config-authentication etc.) for password encryption? From my understanding, Blowfish provides encryption far superior to even MD5 and there should no license problems.
Even though MD5 might seem hard-enough-to-crack, why would we stop there?

Also, it seems like supporting blowfish would not be very hard to implement in fedora, so why don't we?

(and the unavoidable:) Other linux distros have Blowfish encryption for passwords ;-)

Thanks

/Thomas
