In cryptography, scrypt (pronounced "ess crypt") is a password-based key derivation function created by Colin Percival in March 2009, originally for the Tarsnap online backup service.

The algorithm was specifically designed to make it costly to perform large-scale custom hardware attacks by requiring large amounts of memory.

In 2016, the scrypt algorithm was published by IETF as RFC 7914.

A simplified version of scrypt is used as a proof-of-work scheme by a number of cryptocurrencies, first implemented by an anonymous programmer called ArtForz in Tenebrix and followed by Fairbrix and Litecoin soon after.

Digital currency (digital money, electronic money or electronic currency) is any currency, money, or money-like asset that is primarily managed, stored or exchanged on digital computer systems, especially over the internet.

Types of digital currencies include cryptocurrency, virtual currency and central bank digital currency.

Digital currency may be recorded on a distributed database on the internet, a centralized electronic computer database owned by a company or bank, within digital files or even on a stored-value card.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a sequence of rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing.

More advanced algorithms can use conditionals to divert the code execution through various routes (referred to as automated decision-making) and deduce valid inferences (referred to as automated reasoning), achieving automation eventually.

Using human characteristics as descriptors of machines in metaphorical ways was already practiced by Alan Turing with terms such as "memory", "search" and "stimulus".

India, officially the Republic of India (ISO), is a country in South Asia.

It is the seventh-largest country by area; the most populous country as of June 2023; and from the time of its independence in 1947, the world's most populous democracy.

Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east.

In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; its Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

A coin is a small object, usually round and flat, used primarily as a medium of exchange or legal tender.

They are standardized in weight, and produced in large quantities at a mint in order to facilitate trade.

They are most often issued by a government.

Coins often have images, numerals, or text on them.

The faces of coins or medals are sometimes called the obverse and the reverse, referring to the front and back sides, respectively.

The obverse of a coin is commonly called heads, because it often depicts the head of a prominent person, and the reverse is known as tails.
