| | When people talk about PBKDFs (Password Based Key Derivation Functions), this is usually either in the context of secure password storage, or in the context of how to derive cryptographic keys from potentially low-entropy passwords. The Password Hashing Competition (PHC, 2013-2015) was an open competition to derive new password hashing algorithms, resulting in Argon2 hash as its winner. Apart from achieving general hash security, many of the candidates focused on achieving resistance to parallel attacks ...

Public key authenticated encryption and why you want it (Part I) - Neil Madden
17.4 parsecs away

Travel
| If you read or watch any recent tutorial on symmetric (or "secret key") cryptography, one lesson should be clear: in 2018 if you want to encrypt something you'd better useauthenticated encryption.This not only hides the content of a message, but also ensures that the message was sent by one of the parties that has access...
