auth/doc.go
Store salts and passphrases as hex-encoded strings. Update our passphraseScheme.create function signature to return strings. Hex encode our passphrases and salts when encrypthing them so they're easier to store safely. Decode our salt before using it to check candidate passphrases.

| paddy@57 | 2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider. |
| paddy@57 | 3 |
| paddy@57 | 4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the |
| paddy@57 | 5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users |
| paddy@57 | 6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably. |
| paddy@57 | 7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for |
| paddy@57 | 8 the worst case scenarios. |
| paddy@57 | 9 |
| paddy@57 | 10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management, |
| paddy@57 | 11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token |
| paddy@57 | 12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific |
| paddy@57 | 13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user |
| paddy@57 | 14 and client that authorized the request. |
