  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 ...

  3. 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]

  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. Merkle's Puzzles - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Proof by exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_exhaustion

    Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, proof by case analysis, complete induction or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases or sets of equivalent cases, and where each type of case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds. [1]

  7. 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.

  8. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    An underlying assumption of a brute-force attack is that the complete key space was used to generate keys, something that relies on an effective random number generator, and that there are no defects in the algorithm or its implementation. For example, a number of systems that were originally thought to be impossible to crack by brute force ...

  9. 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.
