*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Keystone uses sha512_crypt for password hashing. This is completely
insufficient and provides limited protection (even with 10,000 rounds)
against brute-forcing of the password hashes (especially with FPGAs
and/or GPU processing).

The correct mechanism is to use bcrypt, scrypt, or pdkfd_sha512 instead
of sha512_crypt.

This bug is marked as public security as bug #1543048 has already
highlighted this issue.
