   Mac OS X Password Implementation Compared to OpenBSD's</a>, April 28, 2006
   </strong></font><br>
   Dave Dribin analyzes Mac OS X's password implementation
   and compares it with OpenBSD's:
   "The king of the hill has to go to OpenBSD,
   which uses a hash based on the Blowfish block cipher called bcrypt.
   The benefit of [bcrypt] is best stated on their website:
   <blockquote>
   The most important property of bcrypt (and thus crypt_blowfish)
   is that it is adaptable to future processor performance improvements,
   allowing you to arbitrarily increase the processing cost of checking a
   password while still maintaining compatibility with your older password hashes.
   Already now bcrypt hashes you would use are several orders of magnitude
   stronger than traditional Unix DES-based or FreeBSD-style MD5-based hashes.
   </blockquote>
   This is just plain cool."
