yescrypt is a cryptographic key derivation function function used for password hashing on Fedora Linux, [1] Debian, [2] Ubuntu, [3] and Arch Linux. [4] The function is more resistant to offline password-cracking attacks than SHA-512 . [ 5 ]
The Password Hashing Competition was an open competition announced in 2013 to select one or more password hash functions that can be recognized as a recommended standard. . It was modeled after the successful Advanced Encryption Standard process and NIST hash function competition, but directly organized by cryptographers and security practitione
The GOST hash function, defined in the standards GOST R 34.11-94 and GOST 34.311-95 is a 256-bit cryptographic hash function.It was initially defined in the Russian national standard GOST R 34.11-94 Information Technology – Cryptographic Information Security – Hash Function.
Digest access authentication is one of the agreed-upon methods a web server can use to negotiate credentials, such as username or password, with a user's web browser.This can be used to confirm the identity of a user before sending sensitive information, such as online banking transaction history.
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 ...
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)
The term message integrity code (MIC) is frequently substituted for the term MAC, especially in communications [1] to distinguish it from the use of the latter as media access control address (MAC address). However, some authors [2] use MIC to refer to a message digest, which aims only to uniquely but opaquely identify a single message.
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:
