  2. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    The security of passwords is therefore protected only by the one-way functions (enciphering or hashing) used for the purpose. Early Unix implementations limited passwords to eight characters and used a 12-bit salt, which allowed for 4,096 possible salt values. [12] This was an appropriate balance for 1970s computational and storage costs. [13]

  3. Hash oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_oil

    Hash oil is an extracted cannabis product that may use any part of the plant, with minimal or no residual solvent. It is generally thought to be indistinct from traditional hashish , at-least according to the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs that defines these products as "the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from ...

  4. Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_Challenge_Response...

    To solve this problem, they use SCRAM, where Bob can store his password in a salted format, using PBKDF2. During login, Bob sends Alice his salt and the iteration count of the PBKDF2 algorithm, and then Alice uses these to calculate the hashed password that Bob has in his database. All further calculations in SCRAM base on this value which both ...

  5. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    Thus, a program that uses key stretching can use 65,000 rounds of hashes and delay the user for at most one second. Testing a trial password or passphrase typically requires one hash operation. But if key stretching was used, the attacker must compute a strengthened key for each key they test, meaning there are 65,000 hashes to compute per test.

    Here are a few unexpected ways you can use salt and save a few bucks at the same time. But what most people don't realize is that salt can be used for a lot more than cooking.

  8. Pepper (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    In cryptography, a pepper is a secret added to an input such as a password during hashing with a cryptographic hash function.This value differs from a salt in that it is not stored alongside a password hash, but rather the pepper is kept separate in some other medium, such as a Hardware Security Module. [1]
