What's the difference between PBKDF2 and SCRYPT passwort encryption?

[Flavio Boniforti]

Hello everybody.

As SHA256 has been removed from newer IOS versions and I don't want to step back to MD5, I was wondering which encryption algorithm would be better/safer: PBKDF2 or SCRYPT?

Kind regards and thanks in advance,

F.

Good question. I'm finding very conflicting info about this, in google search results related to cryptocurrencies.

I have personally settled on using scrypt.
