salt

What is the WildFly (8.2) way to work with randomly salted passwords stored in a database? Is an implementation of org.jboss.crypto.digest.DigestCallback (in the password validation process) meant to have access to the salt part from the database? Or should I simply hash and salt passwords by my self before handing them over to the login method of HttpServletRequest ? It looks to me like the 'WildFly way' to deal with passwords is to do what most containers do and deliver a non-secure solution out-of-the-box. I don't know why, but every standard JDBC realm implementation I've seen so far just

After reading about salts password hashing Id like to implement a simple version for an admin area to a site Im building. If you have any good links with code that have implemented this idea well, I would appreciate it if you could share. Thanks, Registration process: User enters a password. System generates a salt value from random data (could be a hash of the time & PID or something). Systems generates a hash value of the password & salt value and stores both of these in the registration table. Login process: User enters a password. System pulls the salt value from the database and hashes it

I use shiro in application for the authenticate. I use hashed password with a salt and I store them in my database like this : private User createUserWithHashedPassword(String inName, String inFirstName, String inLastName, String inPassword){ ByteSource salt = randomNumberGenerator.nextBytes(32); byte[] byteTabSalt = salt.getBytes(); String strSalt = byteArrayToHexString(byteTabSalt); String hashedPasswordBase64 = new Sha256Hash(inPassword, salt, 1024).toBase64(); return new User(inName,inFirstName,inLastName,hashedPasswordBase64,strSalt); } I store the salt with a String in my database. Now

Ubuntu 12.04 中只提供了 PostgreSQL 8.4 和 9.1，查到 PostgreSQL 项目 自己就提供 Debian 和 Ubuntu 的源 ，而且提供 8.3, 8.4, 9.0, 9.1 和 9.2 共五个版本的，真贴心。:-) 照着步骤走下来，试图安装未遂： $ apt-get install postgresql-9.2 错误是： The following packages have unmet dependencies: postgresql-9.2 : Depends: postgresql-client-9.2 but it is not going to be installed Depends: postgresql-common (>= 135~) but 129ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. 有些莫名其妙。搜也搜不到相关内容，就好像别人完全没有类似的错误一般。跑上人家的 IRC channel: #postgresql-apt @ irc.freenode.net 去询问，让我给出 $ apt-cache policy postgresql-common 命令的输出结果。哈，我一看

Is it a bad idea to use an email address as the salt for a password? Archimedix EDIT: Let me refer you to this answer on Security StackExchange which explains a lot of details about password hashing and key derivation. Bottom line: Use a secure established password hashing scheme that is somehow resource-intensive to protect against brute-force attacks, but limit the number of permitted invocations to prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. If your language library has a function for it, verify on upgrades that it does what it is supposed to do, especially if it's PHP. The answer below is

I want to use has_secure_password to store encrypted passwords in the database. I can't find on the the internet if has_secure_password uses any form of salting. If it uses salting, how does it works? Can anyone clarify this for me? Thijs has_secure_password uses bcrypt-ruby . bcrypt-ruby automatically handles the storage and generation of salts for you. A typical hash from bcrypt-ruby looks like this: $2a$10$4wXszTTd7ass8j5ZLpK/7.ywXXgDh7XPNmzfIWeZC1dMGpFghd92e . This hash is split internally using the following function: def split_hash(h) _, v, c, mash = h.split('$') return v, c.to_i, h[0,

This question already has an answer here: Secure hash and salt for PHP passwords 14 answers $pass="test" the above variable contains a password called test.I want to hash this password using sha512 md5 and salt how do i do that as ive found only benifits of salt and sha512,i allready know md5 encryption.please i need the solution as my system is vunerable and please explain it with a code example because im still attached to md5 from what ive understood by your comments and answers ive got the following code $pass="test"; $hashed_pass= openssl_digest($pass, 'sha512'); ok seems solid enough but
