The salt and hash are then stored in the database. To later test if a password a user enters is correct, the same process can be performed on it (appending that user's salt to the password and calculating the resultant hash): if the result does not match the stored hash, it could not have been the correct password that was entered.
Salting is considered a form of confidence trick and has been employed throughout history to defraud stakeholders in the mining industry. Examples are the diamond hoax of 1872 and the former Canadian gold company Bre-X .
Modern password-based key derivation functions, such as PBKDF2, use a cryptographic hash, such as SHA-2, a longer salt (e.g. 64 bits) and a high iteration count. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends a minimum iteration count of 10,000.
The server appends to this client nonce its own nonce s-nonce, and adds it to the server-first message, which also contains a salt used by the server for salting the user's password hash, and an iteration count iteration-count. client-final
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.
