After not hearing back the other day I went ahead and made a Blowfish 
and PasswordHashing repository on SqueakSource just to get it out there. 
  I'm happy to move everything (or have it moved) to the crypto library.

The links are

http://www.squeaksource.com/Blowfish

and

http://www.squeaksource.com/PasswordHashing

The PasswordHashing package has my flawed bcrypt Smalltalk 
implementation and also FFI dependent classes that access crypt(3) and 
libxcrypt on linux.  The FFI classes work fine.


If anyone wants to look into speeding up the Smalltalk bcrypt 
implementation (I think my slow Blowfish implementation is the problem) 
I'd be happy to sort out why its inaccurate.  I just don't have the 
interest to look for the speed ups at this time.


Thanks
