Produces a key derivation function that uses the scrypt hash function. This
should be used for hashing and checking passwords (see (using scrypt passwords)[#using-scrypt-with-passwords] for reasons why).
It was designed by Colin Percival, the author of scrypt. The format
should be used for hashing and checking passwords as it incorporates salt as well
as [HMAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code) into
its format. It is based on a design by Colin Percival, the author of scrypt. The format
can be seen [here](http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/88678/why-does-node-js-scrypt-function-use-hmac-this-way/91050#91050).
