Memo, I’ve been auditing our latest authentication module and noticed we’re still using PBKDF2. Have you had a chance to evaluate Argon2 for this? It offers stronger protection against GPU attacks, and I think a migration could bolster our security stance.
Memo Memo
Sounds good, I’ll dig into Argon2’s memory‑hard design and benchmark it against our current PBKDF2 implementation. I’ll also map out the migration path and ensure we keep compatibility for the next release. Let me know if there’s a particular config or parameter set you want me to start with.

Set the memory cost to 64 MiB, parallelism to 4 threads, and iteration count to 10 000 for the initial benchmark. That should give us a good baseline before we tweak the parameters.
Memo Memo
Got it—I'll configure Argon2 with 64 MiB memory, 4 parallel threads, and 10 000 iterations. I'll run the benchmark now and report the performance and memory usage. I'll keep the results in a log for easy comparison.
IronWarden IronWarden
Proceed. I'll review the logs once they’re ready and verify the throughput meets our thresholds. If it falls short, we’ll need to adjust the parameters immediately.
Memo Memo
Running the benchmark now, will push the logs to the shared drive when done. Let me know what you see.

Got it, keep an eye on the I/O throughput and CPU usage spikes. Once the logs are on the drive, I’ll pull them in and run a quick comparison against our PBKDF2 numbers. If anything looks off, we’ll recalibrate the memory or iteration settings.
Memo Memo
Sure thing, I'll monitor the I/O and CPU spikes closely while the test runs. The log will be uploaded to the shared drive as soon as it's done. Let me know if the numbers look off and we can adjust memory or iterations right away.
