Renowned for its formidable defense in preserving stored passwords, bcrypt, stemming from the 1999 Blowfish cipher algorithm, has evolved into a bastion of password security.

The coinventor of “bcrypt” is reflecting on the ubiquitous function’s 25 years and channeling cybersecurity’s core themes into electronic dance music.

wfrwf June 18, 2012. This article is in some cases right and in some cases wrong. Just consider you make a loop of sha about 1000 times. An attacker just has to follow the entries in the rainbow ...

User passwords were cryptographically protected using bcrypt, an algorithm so slow and computationally demanding it would literally take centuries to crack all 36 million of them.

The reason: the passwords were protected by bcrypt, a cryptographic hashing algorithm so strong Gosney estimated it would take years using a highly specialized computer cluster just to check the ...

In rare cases, some password hashes can be bypassed with any input.” The flaw was disclosed to Bouncy Castle on October 20 and fixed in early November, with an advisory published yesterday. However, ...

Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

Security vendor Avast looked at the Ashley Madison database leak, which included passwords that were encrypted with bcrypt. Bcrypt is a secure hashing algorithm for good passwords—that is ...

When it disclosed the incident on August 1, Poshmark said that it uses the bcrypt algorithm to hash sensitive details such as passwords. This algorithm is recommended by the security industry for ...

Argon2 considered superior to Bcrypt. The algorithm is currently considered to be superior to Bcrypt, today's most widely used password hashing function, in terms of both security and cost ...
