Bcrpty

Bcrypt is a cryptographic hashing algorithm specifically designed to securely hash passwords. Based on the Blowfish cipher, Bcrypt was introduced in 1999 by Niels Provos and David Mazieres to overcome the vulnerabilities of traditional hashing algorithms such as MD5 and SHA-1. Its primary focus is on providing strong resistance against brute-force attacks, which are becoming…
Scrypt

Scrypt is a cryptographic algorithm that has garnered significant attention in the realms of secure communications, blockchain technology, and password hashing. Originally designed by Colin Percival in 2009, Scrypt was developed to address some of the vulnerabilities of earlier hashing algorithms, particularly focusing on the increasing computational power of modern hardware. Unlike traditional algorithms like…
