== Cloud Services ==
Firefox Accounts Cloud Services is composed of several sub-services, including an '''auth server''', and a '''content server''', and a '''crypto helper'''.
=== Auth Server ===
* Key stretching details: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/AttachedServices/KeyServerProtocol#Client-Side_Key_Stretching
* Key stretching performance tests: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/AttachedServices/Key_Stretching_Performance_Tests
 
=== scrypt Helper ===
 
A portion of the key stretching process uses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt scrypt], a password-based key derivation function that uses significant amounts of memory. On memory constrained devices, Firefox Accounts provides a helper service for this portion of the key stretching process.
