+NAME
+ libar2simplified - Simplified interface for libar2
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ libar2simplified is façade for the libar2 C library that
+ implements the family of Argon2 key derivation function,
+ including Argon2d, Argon2i, and Argon2id, as well as
+ Argon2ds which was not part of the submission to the
+ Password Hashing Competition of 2013, which Argon2 won in
+ 2015. As a key derivation function, Argon2 is well-suited
+ for cryptographically hashing (one-way encrypting)
+ passwords.
