The API for pwhash_str returns a cstring in the output buffer. These
are null terminated. However, we return the full buffer as a binary
back to Erlang. This means that we have a buffer with 0'es in the end.
The tests take this buffer and passes it back in as is. Hence all the
tests pass. However, it is conceivable that if we write said buffer to
disk somewhere, we are not going to write those 0's out.
When we then load the ASCII-armored Argon2 string into memory again,
it is not 0-terminated as a cstring should be, and this produces
errors all over the place.
The fix is twofold:
* Return the full buffer to Erlang, but use binary:split/2 to create a
subbinary with the relevant part.
* Add a 0 in the end of ASCII Argon2 string before passing it to
libsodium
Since we are looking at pwhashing, and Argon2, we expect the
computational problem to be memory bound. Thus, spending a bit more
work in memory is not going to have any considerable impact on the
speed of this system.
