After reading these two resources I am wondering am I getting all the differences between Scrypt and PBKDF2. As far as I understood, the similarity is: both are password-based key derivation …

Scrypt is supposed to be "better" than bcrypt, but is is also much more recent, and that's bad (because "more recent" inherently implies "has received less scrutiny"). All these password …

13 Samh 2015 · Slow key-derivation functions like SCrypt, BCrypt or PBKDF2 are necessary, to protect relatively short and weak passwords, or to generate a key from such passwords (P …

3 Lún 2015 · I've been recently taking a hard look at the scrypt system for storing users' passwords. However, I'm rather worried about it's security because of things like Litecoin …

10 Meith 2024 · If we stick to a single standard algorithm available in Python without add-on, we can use scrypt (available as hashlib.scrypt), which includes memory-hard key stretching, and …

5 Aib 2022 · When using a KDF such a scrypt, I believe the value of the salt should be random and change each time even on a per user basis (same user generating two different keys at …

15 Noll 2022 · 3 I was reading the Wikipedia page for scrypt because I wanted to learn more about it and I came across their pseudocode for the algorithm. What confused me was the following …

9 Aib 2021 · Do FIPS 140-2 or related documens specify how to protect users' passwords with encryption? Are there any well known schemas for storing passwords in lossless manner and …

It seems to me that using scrypt or bcrypt (changing the software) is easier than adding expensive (in terms of up front costs and energy costs) hardware to millions of servers. At a …

10 MFómh 2018 · There are many questions about picking a hash function, including How to securely hash passwords? or Are there more modern password hashing methods than bcrypt …
