  2. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    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.

  3. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text.More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters.These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.

  4. Microsoft Office password protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_password...

    In Office 2007, protection was significantly enhanced by using AES as a cipher. [4] Using SHA-1 as a hash function, the password is stretched into a 128-bit key 50,000 times before opening the document; as a result, the time required to crack it is vastly increased, similar to PBKDF2, scrypt or other KDFs.

  5. Crack (password software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_(password_software)

    The first public release of Crack was version 2.7a, which was posted to the Usenet newsgroups alt.sources and alt.security on 15 July 1991. Crack v3.2a+fcrypt, posted to comp.sources.misc on 23 August 1991, introduced an optimised version of the Unix crypt() function but was still only really a faster version of what was already available in other packages.

  6. 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)

  7. Decoding methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoding_methods

    Hence, if we were lucky that these positions of the received word contained no errors, and hence equalled the positions of the sent codeword, then we may decode. If t {\displaystyle t} errors occurred, the probability of such a fortunate selection of columns is given by ( n − t k ) / ( n k ) {\displaystyle \textstyle {\binom {n-t}{k}}/{\binom ...

  8. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    Key stretching algorithms depend on an algorithm which receives an input key and then expends considerable effort to generate a stretched cipher (called an enhanced key [citation needed]) mimicking randomness and longer key length.

  9. Key derivation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function

    Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...
