When talking about DIY crypto, the question should be turned around - what's the benefit of this over just using bcrypt?
- pnathan 15y agoWell, one example might be if you were implementing your crypto in a language that doesn't have bcrypt bindings. So you would either have to port bcrypt or use existing crypto code to approximate bcrypt-level security.
- maaku 15y agoFalse choice. Why roll your own when either porting bindings to bcrypt or porting the bcrypt implementation to your language is easier and safer?
