Salted Password Hashing and Cryptographic Work Factors

Plain cryptographic algorithms like SHA-256 or MD5 execute in microseconds on modern GPUs, making them susceptible to rainbow table and dictionary cracking.

Bcrypt utilizes the adaptive Eksblowfish key schedule algorithm, incorporating 16 bytes of cryptographically secure random salt and repeated hashing loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Bcrypt preferred over MD5 or SHA-256 for passwords?

Bcrypt includes an automatic salt and an adjustable computational cost factor (work factor). This deliberately slows down brute-force and GPU hardware attacks.

What is a recommended cost factor for production?

A cost factor between 10 and 12 is generally recommended in 2026, balancing authentication latency (~200ms) with strong brute-force resistance.
