encryption is non-deterministic
- iso8859-1 6y agoif that was true, this article wouldn't exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_encryption
- quesera 6y agoSome encryption algorithms are (effectively, but not literally) non-deterministic, e.g.: DUKPT, RSA-OAEP Most encryption algorithms are deterministic, and most password authentication schemes depend on that fact.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoPasswords aren't encrypted, so why would deterministic encryption matter?
- quesera 6y agoErr, yes, good point. And if I had read the article first, I would have had the proper context of technical specificity loaded before commenting. Nevertheless, most encryption algorithms are deterministic. :)
