+Catena
+======
+Catena is a memory-consuming password scrambler that excellently
+thwarts massively parallel attacks on cheap memory-constrained
+hardware, such as recent graphical processing units (GPUs).
+Furthermore, Catena provides resistance against cache-timing attacks, since
+its memory-access pattern is password-independent.
