Hi Nils--

attached is a patch against RFC 4880bis in

Thanks for this patch!  Since Argon2 is the winner of the
password-hashing competition [0], and Argon2i is the variant of Argon2
that is intended for password-based key derivation, this seems like a
good candidate.

If we introduce this as a normative dependency for OpenPGP, though, we
might also want to have an IETF RFC for Argon2.  Do you know of anyone
working on such a draft?  I don't see anythng posted at the datatracker:

 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search/?name=argon&activedrafts=on&rfcs=on

If anyone else knows of efforts to document argon2, or wants to advance
such a draft, i'd be happy to hear about it.
