Class CRYPT

object --+
         |
        CRYPT

example:

   INPUT(_type='text', _name='name', requires=CRYPT())

encodes the value on validation with a digest.

If no arguments are provided CRYPT uses the MD5 algorithm. If the key argument is provided the HMAC+MD5 algorithm is used. If the digest_alg is specified this is used to replace the MD5 with, for example, SHA512. The digest_alg can be the name of a hashlib algorithm as a string or the algorithm itself.

min_length is the minimal password length (default 4) - IS_STRONG for serious security error_message is the message if password is too short

Notice that an empty password is accepted but invalid. It will not allow login back. Stores junk as hashed password.
