// NewScryptIdentity returns a new ScryptIdentity with the provided password.
func NewScryptIdentity(password string) (*ScryptIdentity, error) {
	if len(password) == 0 {
		return nil, errors.New("passphrase can't be empty")
	}
	i := &ScryptIdentity{
		password:      []byte(password),
		maxWorkFactor: 22, // 15s on a modern machine
	}
	return i, nil
}

// SetMaxWorkFactor sets the maximum accepted scrypt work factor to 2^logN.
// It must be called before Unwrap.
