Target entity: bcrypt Context triple: [PBKDF2, comparedWith, bcrypt]
-
A.
PBKDF2
PBKDF2 is a key derivation function that strengthens passwords by applying repeated hashing with a salt to produce cryptographic keys resistant to brute-force attacks.
-
B.
Hash
"Hash" is a darkly comic novel by Swedish author Torgny Lindgren that explores memory, identity, and rural life through the story of two men obsessively disputing who makes the better potato hash.
-
C.
SCRAM-SHA-256
SCRAM-SHA-256 is a modern, secure password-based authentication mechanism that uses the SHA-256 hash function within the SCRAM protocol to provide strong protection against credential theft and replay attacks.
-
D.
SHA-512
SHA-512 is a cryptographic hash function from the SHA-2 family that produces a 512-bit hash value and is widely used for secure data integrity and authentication.
-
E.
HMAC
HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) is a cryptographic construction that combines a secret key with a hash function to provide data integrity and authentication.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
