The modular crypt format for bcrypt consists of $2$, $2a$ or $2y$ identifying the hashing algorithm and format a two digit value denoting the cost parameter, followed by $ a 53 characters long base-64-encoded value (they use the alphabet ., /, 0–9, A–Z, a–z that is different to the standard Base 64 Encoding alphabet) consisting … Read more
This is bcrypt: Generate a random salt. A “cost” factor has been pre-configured. Collect a password. Derive an encryption key from the password using the salt and cost factor. Use it to encrypt a well-known string. Store the cost, salt, and cipher text. Because these three elements have a known length, it’s easy to concatenate … Read more
bcrypt is a hashing algorithm which is scalable with hardware (via a configurable number of rounds). Its slowness and multiple rounds ensures that an attacker must deploy massive funds and hardware to be able to crack your passwords. Add to that per-password salts (bcrypt REQUIRES salts) and you can be sure that an attack is … Read more
