Scrypt - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Scrypt: Maximally Memory-Hard Functions

Scrypt is a memory-hard function designed for password hashing and key derivation, aiming to thwart brute-force attacks by making evaluation moderately hard. It emphasizes the need for memory intensity over computation, hindering the advantages of special-purpose hardware, parallelism, and amortizat

Best Practices for Secure Password Storage - OWASP Foundation Guidelines

Learn about secure password storage techniques recommended by OWASP Foundation, including adding salt, slowing down hashing functions, using HMAC isolation, and imposing difficult verification processes on attackers. Remember to use proper encoding, avoid limiting password types or lengths unreasona
