  2. Time-based one-time password - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-Time_Password

    Time-based one-time password (TOTP) is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password (OTP) using the current time as a source of uniqueness. As an extension of the HMAC-based one-time password algorithm (HOTP), it has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238. [1]

  3. Key stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_stretching

    [1] There are several ways to perform key stretching. One way is to apply a cryptographic hash function or a block cipher repeatedly in a loop. For example, in applications where the key is used for a cipher, the key schedule in the cipher may be modified so that it takes a specific length of time to perform. Another way is to use cryptographic ...

  4. Challenge–response authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge–response...

    [1] The simplest example of a challenge-response protocol is password authentication, where the challenge is asking for the password and the valid response is the correct password. An adversary who can eavesdrop on a password authentication can authenticate themselves by reusing the intercepted password. One solution is to issue multiple ...

  5. Digest access authentication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication

    For example, a MITM attacker could tell clients to use basic access authentication or legacy RFC2069 digest access authentication mode. To extend this further, digest access authentication provides no mechanism for clients to verify the server's identity; A server can store HA1 = MD5(username:realm:password) instead of the password itself.

  6. HMAC-based one-time password - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password

    HMAC-based one-time password (HOTP) is a one-time password (OTP) algorithm based on HMAC. It is a cornerstone of the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH). HOTP was published as an informational IETF RFC 4226 in December 2005, documenting the algorithm along with a Java implementation. Since then, the algorithm has been adopted by many ...

  7. Random password generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

    Simply generating a password at random does not ensure the password is a strong password, because it is possible, although highly unlikely, to generate an easily guessed or cracked password. In fact, there is no need at all for a password to have been produced by a perfectly random process: it just needs to be sufficiently difficult to guess.

  8. bcrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt

    bcrypt has a maximum password length of 72 bytes. This maximum comes from the first operation of the ExpandKey function that uses XOR on the 18 4-byte subkeys (P) with the password: P 1..P 18 ← P 1..P 18 xor passwordBytes The password (which is UTF-8 encoded), is repeated until it is 72-bytes long. For example, a password of:

  9. Rainbow table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table

    Rainbow tables are a practical example of a space–time tradeoff: they use less computer processing time and more storage than a brute-force attack which calculates a hash on every attempt, but more processing time and less storage than a simple table that stores the hash of every possible password.
