Update: This post is half-wrong; Salsa is a streaming cipher and AES is a block cipher and one still need a PBKDF mechanism to construct a safer key.
Problem with AES and Salsa is that salting is required for smaller-sized password and are not considered a "hashing" algorithm; those two are block ciphers, as I recall.
No, MATESO is not open source but with an enterprise license, you can negotiate for the source code. And they have contracted audits against their software.
Netwrix PasswordSafe is more enterprise-ready with their SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA compliance but that is a moot point for most SMBs, SMEs, family-servers and homelabs.
- lxgr 3y agoAES and Twofish are both block ciphers. Neither are hasing algorithms, and you'll need a PBKDF or some other construction to derive a key for either, no? Salsa is a stream cipher.
- egberts1 3y agoRight. thanks for the update. My note should have been consulted as you being correct. Hate my memory nowadays. Need to consult some more notes before speaking.
