The scrypt function is designed to hinder such attempts by raising the resource demands of the algorithm. Specifically, the algorithm is designed to use a large amount of memory compared to other password-based KDFs, [ 6 ] making the size and the cost of a hardware implementation much more expensive, and therefore limiting the amount of ...

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 ...
Litecoin was a source code fork of the Bitcoin Core client, originally differing by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), faster difficulty retarget, and a slightly modified GUI.
Algorithm BLAKE2b Input: M Message to be hashed cbMessageLen: Number, (0..2 128) Length of the message in bytes Key Optional 0..64 byte key cbKeyLen: Number, (0..64) Length of optional key in bytes cbHashLen: Number, (1..64) Desired hash length in bytes Output: Hash Hash of cbHashLen bytes Initialize State vector h with IV h 0..7 ← IV 0..7 ...
The second attack shows that Argon2i can be computed by an algorithm which has complexity O(n 7/4 log(n)) for all choices of parameters σ (space cost), τ (time cost), and thread-count such that n = σ ∗ τ. [8] The Argon2 authors claim that this attack is not efficient if Argon2i is used with three or more passes. [7]
The round number decrements starting from 24 and when it reaches 24, 20, 16, 12, 8 or 4, the round number or 0x9e377900 is xored into the first word of the state. The magic constant 0x9e377900 is chosen to be the upper 3 bytes of ⌊2 32 ⁄ 𝜙⌋ , which would be 0x9e3779b9 , where 𝜙 is the golden ratio (as a nothing-up-my-sleeve number )
