Description

@Atiseug

After Python 3.6 there is password-based key derivation function scrypt in a default hashlib library. It is better suitable for creation of the key for encryption (e.g. AES which is a part of a standard cryptolib) than the other already existing functions in Micropython's hashlib. Micropython doesn't have any of key derivation function from standard hashlib library so it would be good if Micropython would have it.
There are some of pure Python implementations of such a functions, but it is extremely slow.
