Comment (by dawuud):

 I would really like to help out with this ticket.
 Would using NaCl's SecretBox like this work?
 https://github.com/david415/hidden-tahoe-
 backup/blob/master/HiddenTahoeBackup/secretBox.py

 Should I be using scrypt here instead of sha256?
 {{{
 def hashPassphrase(passphrase):
     return nacl.hash.sha256(passphrase, encoder=nacl.encoding.RawEncoder)
 }}}
