A mode for password hashing

Whatever people think of this idea, it's probably a bit late to be coming up with new designs. Any future adoption of a different password hashing algorithm will probably be determined by the PHC[0]... at least, I'm not aware of a more comprehensive ongoing effort to improve the state of the art.

I'm not sure what I think of it, but don't dismiss it because it's not established by X or Y person.

Judge it on its merits, if any. If we can't poke holes in it, then maybe its worth those same people's time to look at.

PHC isn't about pedigree, it's a formal contest that was open for submissions for a while now. Now they're in the elimination phase.
