class documentation

Abstract base class for password hashers When creating your own hasher, you need to override algorithm, verify(), encode() and safe_summary(). PasswordHasher objects are immutable.

Method decode Return a decoded database value.
Method encode Create an encoded database value.
Method harden_runtime Bridge the runtime gap between the work factor supplied in `encoded` and the work factor suggested by this hasher.
Method must_update Undocumented
Method safe_summary Return a summary of safe values.
Method salt Generate a cryptographically secure nonce salt in ASCII with an entropy of at least `salt_entropy` bits.
Method verify Check if the given password is correct.

Bridge the runtime gap between the work factor supplied in `encoded` and the work factor suggested by this hasher. Taking PBKDF2 as an example, if `encoded` contains 20000 iterations and `self.iterations` is 30000, this method should run password through another 10000 iterations of PBKDF2. Similar approaches should exist for any hasher that has a work factor. If not, this method should be defined as a no-op to silence the warning.
