2. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

   Common graphics processing units can try billions of possible passwords each second. Password hash functions that perform key stretching – such as PBKDF2, scrypt or Argon2 – commonly use repeated invocations of a cryptographic hash to increase the time (and in some cases computer memory) required to perform brute-force attacks on stored ...

3. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

   The salt and hash are then stored in the database. To later test if a password a user enters is correct, the same process can be performed on it (appending that user's salt to the password and calculating the resultant hash): if the result does not match the stored hash, it could not have been the correct password that was entered.

4. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

   The Secure Hash Algorithms are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), including: SHA-0: A retronym applied to the original version of the 160-bit hash function published in 1993 under the name "SHA". It was ...

5. Security of cryptographic hash functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_of_cryptographic...

   A common example is the use of hashes to store password validation data. Rather than store the plaintext of user passwords, an access control system typically stores a hash of the password. When a person requests access, the password they submit is hashed and compared with the stored value.

6. Microsoft Office password protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_password...

   Office 2013 uses 128-bit AES, again with hash algorithm SHA-1 by default. [6] It introduces SHA-512 hashes in the encryption algorithm, making brute-force and rainbow table attacks slower. [citation needed] Office 2016 uses, by default, 256-bit AES, the SHA-2 hash algorithm, 16 bytes of salt and CBC (cipher block chaining). [7]

7. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

   The bcrypt password hashing function requires a larger amount of RAM (but still not tunable separately, i.e. fixed for a given amount of CPU time) and is significantly stronger against such attacks, [13] while the more modern scrypt key derivation function can use arbitrarily large amounts of memory and is therefore more resistant to ASIC and ...
