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.
