| | | | | Programmers don't understand hash functions, and I can demonstrate this to most of the people that will read this with a single observation: When you saw the words "hash function" in the title, you might have assumed this was going to be a blog post about password storage. (Passwords are the most common knee-jerk reaction... | |

| | | | | There has been a lot of discussion recently around the LastPass breach, especially with regards to the number of PBKDF2 iterations applied to the master password to derive the vault encryption key. Other people have already dissected this particular breach, but I want to more generally talk about PBKDF2 iterations and security models. (I'm not... | |

| | | The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology is having a competition for a new cryptographic hash function. This matters. The phrase "one-way hash function" might sound arcane and geeky, but hash functions are the workhorses of modern cryptography. They provide web security in SSL. They help with key management in e-mail and voice encryption: PGP, Skype, all the others. They help make it harder to guess passwords. They're used in virtual private networks, help provide DNS security and ensure that your automatic software updates are legitimate. They provide all sorts of security functions in your operating system. Every time you do something with security on the internet, a hash function is involved somewhere... | ||
