Title: Bcrypt Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:bcrypt URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT bcrypt is a password-hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières. It is based on the Blowfish cipher and presented at USENIX in 1999. Besides incorporating a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks, bcrypt is an adaptive function: over time, the iteration count can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks even with increasing computation power.
