Securing passwords stored inside of a database field using Python

[Jeremy Hylton]

There's more to securing passwords that just picking an encryption
algorithm -- and keyed hashes seem to be more common that encryption.
PKCS #5 describes one good way to encrypt and decrypt data using
passwords.  It's implemented in Pisces.
