gonna be fun when bcrypt will be "rubbish" and people won't understand that due to simplifications. Certainly is a good idea to inform yourself instead (despite the so called experts that will tell you not to even look at it)
I always liked www.amazon.com/Code-Book-Science-Secrecy-Cryptography/dp/0385495323/ as beginner introduction, before going on to more advanced books. it gives you all the basics, and the basics are imo the most important to get right (that's why they're basics), plus its a fun read
- ptomato 14y agoShort of an extremely significant change in the way we do computing, my understanding is that you can just push up the work factor on bcrypt and be fine.
- zobzu 14y agoWe find logical issues that reduce the strenght of the algorithms every year or so, til now. You're saying that bcrypt doesn't suffer this and you can just add more rounds. That's sort of like adding more rounds to DES.
