+- SHA-256, SHA-512 and BLAKE2b from Python's hashlib_ standard library module are used.
   Borg requires a Python built with OpenSSL support (due to PBKDF2), therefore
   these functions are delegated to OpenSSL by Python.
 - HMAC, PBKDF2 and a constant-time comparison from Python's hmac_ standard
   library module is used. While the HMAC implementation is written in Python,
   the PBKDF2 implementation is provided by OpenSSL. The constant-time comparison
   (``compare_digest``) is written in C and part of Python.
