Webasm will help with this. If the browser's JIT is good enough, it'll be close to optimized C.

Then you just need to make sure your algorithm is also space-hard and resists parallelization so GPUs and ASICs can't get it.

Basically it's a password hash, like Argon2. I think libsodium already has an official WebAsm build, so there you go.

Web browsers also have "crypto.subtle" but it's not allowed on file:// (making testing on local difficult) and I don't know if it has password hashing.
