//
// The hash function is HMAC-SHA512/256 where SHA512/256 is as described in
// FIPS 180-4. This construction avoids length-extension attacks while
// maintaining a widely compatible digest size with better performance on
// 64-bit systems.
//
// Password hashing uses bcrypt with a work factor of 14.

// be a natural-language string describing the purpose of the hash, such as
// "hash file for lookup key" or "master secret to client secret".  It serves
// as an HMAC "key" and ensures that different purposes will have different
// hash output. This function is NOT suitable for hashing passwords.
