  2. Brute-force search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    A brute-force algorithm that finds the divisors of a natural number n would enumerate all integers from 1 to n, and check whether each of them divides n without remainder. A brute-force approach for the eight queens puzzle would examine all possible arrangements of 8 pieces on the 64-square chessboard and for each arrangement, check whether ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle's_Puzzles

    Hence, both X and Y are unique to each message. All the messages are encrypted in a way such that a user may conduct a brute force attack on each message with some difficulty. Bob sends all the encrypted messages to Alice. Alice receives all the encrypted messages, and randomly chooses a single message to brute force.

  4. Advantage (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    This adversary (call it A 1) will attempt to cryptanalyze its input by brute force. It has its own DES implementation. It gives a single query to its oracle, asking for the 64-bit string of all zeroes to be encrypted. Call the resulting ciphertext E 0. It then runs an exhaustive key search. The algorithm looks like this:

  5. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    For example, bcrypt cannot be used to derive a 512-bit key from a password. At the same time, algorithms like pbkdf2, scrypt, and argon2 are password-based key derivation functions - where the output is then used for the purpose of password hashing rather than just key derivation. Password hashing generally needs to complete < 1000 ms.

  6. Password cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

    In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of guessing passwords [1] protecting a computer system.A common approach (brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available cryptographic hash of the password. [2]

  7. Clique problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_problem

    The brute force algorithm finds a 4-clique in this 7-vertex graph (the complement of the 7-vertex path graph) by systematically checking all C(7,4) = 35 4-vertex subgraphs for completeness. In computer science , the clique problem is the computational problem of finding cliques (subsets of vertices, all adjacent to each other, also called ...

  8. scrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt

    This divides the amount of time needed to complete a brute-force attack by the number of implementations available, very possibly bringing it down to a reasonable time frame. The scrypt function is designed to hinder such attempts by raising the resource demands of the algorithm.

  9. Rainbow table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table

    Though brute-force attacks (e.g. dictionary attacks) may be used to try to invert a hash function, they can become infeasible when the set of possible passwords is large enough. An alternative to brute-force is to use precomputed hash chain tables. Rainbow tables are a special kind of such table that overcome certain technical difficulties.
