- crypt-des-extended-gensalt random #!key roundsprocedure
Generates a salt string for the extended DES-based crypt() implementation as introduced by BSDi.
rounds is the number of iterations to run the DES algorithm. If not specified or #f it defaults to the value of crypt-des-extended-default-rounds. Important note: DES has specific weaknesses that makes it easier to detect weak keys when it is run for an even number of rounds, so it's important to specify an odd number here.
random is a procedure that returns a randomly filled u8vector. See the documentation on crypt-default-random-u8vector and crypt-gensalt for more information.
