  2. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    Password strength. Options menu of the random password generation tool in KeePass. Enabling more character subsets raises the strength of generated passwords a small amount, whereas increasing their length raises the strength a large amount. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password against guessing or brute-force attacks.

  3. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    The Secure Hash Algorithms are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), including: SHA-0: A retronym applied to the original version of the 160-bit hash function published in 1993 under the name "SHA".

  4. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    Description. The input to the bcrypt function is the password string (up to 72 bytes), a numeric cost, and a 16-byte (128-bit) salt value. The salt is typically a random value. The bcrypt function uses these inputs to compute a 24-byte (192-bit) hash. The final output of the bcrypt function is a string of the form:

  5. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    Password cracking. In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of recovering passwords [1] from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system in scrambled form. A common approach ( brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available ...

  7. Mojo (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojo_(programming_language)

    Mojo has a borrow checker, an influence from Rust. Mojo plans to add a foreign function interface to call C/C++ and Python code. Mojo is not source-compatible with Python 3, only providing a subset of its syntax, e.g. missing the global keyword, list and dictionary comprehensions, and support for classes.

  9. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    The PBKDF2 key derivation function has five input parameters: [9] DK = PBKDF2 (PRF, Password, Salt, c, dkLen) where: PRF is a pseudorandom function of two parameters with output length hLen (e.g., a keyed HMAC) Password is the master password from which a derived key is generated. Salt is a sequence of bits, known as a cryptographic salt.
