Validating passwords with random salts

问题

I have been trying to learn about hashes and salts stored in a users table withing a mysql DB. I get through with storing them but can't seem to wrap my head around how to validate when the user logs in.
I have looked through and seen about storing the salt and hash seperately and together. The salt that I am producing is random.

Any ideas?
I have posted my code.

<?php
$password = 'passwordwhatever';

//generate the salt
function gen_salt() {
    $salt = uniqid(mt_rand(), true) . sha1(uniqid(mt_rand(), true));
    $salt = crypt('sha512', $salt);
    return $salt;
}

//generate the hash
function gen_hash($salt, $password) {
    $hash = $salt . $password;
    for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
        $hash = crypt('sha512', $hash);
    }

    $hash = $salt . $hash;
    return $hash;
}

$password = gen_hash(gen_salt(), $password);
echo $password;

?>

回答1:

As long as you produce the same salt, it shouldn't matter too much. Store it in your db, in configuration, as long as you can get to it. The effort of reversing a SHA512 hash is so high that unless you're the Pentagon, nobody will bother. The point is that you want to be able to repeat the hash with the same salt so you can be very sure that the input was the same without having to store the sensitive input. If that makes sense.

The salt is going to need to be contained somewhere within the database (or somewhere). Some options are to append the salt to the hash or stored as its own field. I like appending it to the hash.

$password = $salt . '.' . $hash;

Then when the user goes to login, you grab his password, break it into the hash and the salt, and use your password generation function (with the salt from the password instead of a random salt) to determine if it matches the password in the db.

list($salt,$hash) = explode('.', $password);
$check = gen_hash($salt, $input_pass);
if ($check === $password)
    // valid

Maybe you should take a look on bcrypt. This might help you. I wrote some tutorials but they are in german. Oh and PHP 5.3 support bcrypt natively.
