Description
Currently it is not possible with the PARSEC plugin to define the number of iterations to be used when generating the key corresponding to the password.
To ensure proper security for users long term, the PARSEC plugin should allow specifying the number of iterations. Additionally, the default should be something more secure.
This patch adds a global plugin variable parsec_iterations to define define the number of iterations to be used when generating the key corresponding to the password. It has a default value, lower and upper bounds.
