2. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

   In cryptography, a salt is random data fed as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. [1] Salting helps defend against attacks that use precomputed tables (e.g. rainbow tables ), by vastly growing the size of table needed for a successful attack. [2] [3] [4] It also helps protect passwords that ...

3. Challenge–response authentication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge–response...

   The simplest example of a challenge-response protocol is password authentication, where the challenge is asking for the password and the valid response is the correct password. An adversary who can eavesdrop on a password authentication can then authenticate itself by reusing the intercepted password.

4. Lavarand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand

   Lavarand. Lavarand, also known as the Wall of Entropy, was a hardware random number generator designed by Silicon Graphics that worked by taking pictures of the patterns made by the floating material in lava lamps, extracting random data from the pictures, and using the result to seed a pseudorandom number generator. [1]

5. Wichmann–Hill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichmann–Hill

   Wichmann–Hill. Wichmann–Hill is a pseudorandom number generator proposed in 1982 by Brian Wichmann and David Hill. [1] It consists of three linear congruential generators with different prime moduli, each of which is used to produce a uniformly distributed number between 0 and 1. These are summed, modulo 1, to produce the result.

6. Master Password (algorithm) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Password_(algorithm)

   Master Password is a type of algorithm first implemented by Maarten Billemont for creating unique passwords in a reproducible manner. It differs from traditional password managers in that the passwords are not stored on disk or in the cloud, but are regenerated every time from information entered by the user: Their name, a master password, and a unique identifier for the service the password ...

7. Function generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

   Sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms. In electrical engineering, a function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave, square wave ...
