All those who contributed somehow to the development, directly
or indirectly, will be credited here.


* Allan Saddi <allan@saddi.com>
  - implemented the basic SHA512 algorithm and released it under
    a BSD licence.

* Tamas TEVESZ <ice@extreme.hu>
  - Gave a lot of good feedback regarding the SHA512 password
    hashing algorithm and gave inspiration to implement a much
    better algorithm and also what became the the password hash
    cache.

* Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
  - Released a document into the Public Domain with code
    examples for a proper SHA512 password hashing algorithm,
    which inspired me to adopt most of this implementation into
    which became the current SHA512 password hashing algorithm.
    Most of the core password algorithm is based on this document,
    but combined with the already basic implementation of SHA512
    hashing.  See common/passwd.c for more details.
