If the answer was the algorithm known as bcrypt, though, there was at least one less thing to panic about. Bcrypt turns 25 this year, and Niels Provos, one of its coinventors, says that looking ...

Renowned for its formidable defense in preserving stored passwords, bcrypt, stemming from the 1999 Blowfish cipher algorithm, has evolved into a bastion of password security. Nevertheless ...

the company also said it was changing its hash to elevate its password protection policy to the more complex bcrypt algorithm, which is based on the Blowfish cipher. Bloomberg reported an email ...

User passwords were cryptographically protected using bcrypt, an algorithm so slow and computationally demanding it would literally take centuries to crack all 36 million of them. Now, a crew of ...

By exploiting it, attackers can effectively bypass password checks in applications using the Bcrypt algorithm for password hashing, explained Synopsys. Although attack complexity is rated high, so is ...

On the bright side, email passwords were salted and hashed using the Bcrypt algorithm, which is dang near impossible to reverse, and dates of birth and street addresses do not seem to have been ...
