The only real advantage that SHA might have over SHA is collision resistance , a term that in cryptography has a very narrow meaning.
If or when a practical quantum computer is built, we might need the bit collision resistance. Since SSL certificates typically have expiration dates in a relatively short term, it's just fine to get a SHA certificate today, because it'll expire before a practical quantum computer is built if that ever happens.

A secure password hash is an encrypted sequence of characters obtained after applying specific algorithms and manipulations on user-provided passwords, which are generally very weak and easy to guess. There are many such hashing algorithms in Java that can prove effective for password security.
Please remember that once the password hash has been generated, we can not convert the hash back to the original password. Each time a user login into the application, we must generate the password hash again and match it with the hash stored in the database. The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a bit byte hash value. To do this, the input message is split into chunks of bit blocks. Padding is added to the end so that its length can be divided by These blocks are processed by the MD5 algorithm , which operates in a bit state, and the result will be a bit hash value.
After applying MD5, the generated hash is typically a digit hexadecimal number. If you are using MD5 hash in your application, consider adding some salt to your security. Keep in mind, adding salt is not specific to MD5. We can add a Salt to every other algorithm also. So, please focus on how it is applied rather than its relation with MD5. Wikipedia defines salt as random data that are used as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes a password or pass-phrase.
In more simple words, salt is some randomly generated text, which is appended to the password before obtaining hash. The original intent of salting was primarily to defeat pre-computed rainbow table attacks that could otherwise be used to significantly improve the efficiency of cracking the hashed password database.
A more significant benefit is to slow down parallel operations that compare the hash of a password guess against many password hashes at once.
We always need to use a SecureRandom to create good salts. Note that if a seed is not provided, it will generate a seed from a true random number generator TRNG.
Please note that now you have to store this salt value for every password you hash. Because when user login back into the system, we must use only originally generated salt to create again the hash to match with the stored hash.
If a different salt is used we are generating random salt , then generated hash will be different. Also, you might hear of the terms crazy hashing and salting. It generally refers to creating custom combinations. Do not practice these crazy things. They do not help in making hashes further secure anyhow.
If you want more security, choose a better algorithm. It is very similar to MD5, except it generates more strong hashes. However, SHA hashes are not always unique, and it means that we could have equal hashes for two different inputs. But, do not worry about these collisions because they are very rare.
Java has four implementations of the SHA algorithm. They generate the following length hashes in comparison to MD5 bit hash :. To get any implementation of the algorithm, pass it as a parameter to MessageDigest.
Very quickly, we can say that SHA generates the most robust Hash. So far, we have learned about creating secure hashes for passwords and using salt to make it even more secure. But the problem today is that hardwares have become so fast than any brute force attack using dictionary and rainbow tables, a bad actor can crack any password in less or more time. To solve this problem, the general idea is to make brute force attacks slower to minimize damage.
Our following algorithm works on this very concept. The goal is to make the hash function slow enough to impede attacks but still fast enough to not cause a noticeable delay for the user. These algorithms take a work factor also known as security factor or iteration count as an argument.
Iteration count determines how slow the hash function will be. When computers become faster next year, we can increase the work factor to balance it out.
The next step is to have a function that we can use to validate the password again when the user comes back and login. Please refer to functions from the above code samples.
If found any difficulty, then download the source code attached at the end of the tutorial. It just happened to be that Java does not have any inbuilt support for bcrypt algorithm to make the attack slower but still, you can find one such implementation in the attached source code. Like bcrypt, I have downloaded scrypt from github and added the source code of the scrypt algorithm in the sourcecode.

Password already been used by multiple users, when we migrated to JDK8 users are not able to authenticate because of above code producing different results. But now how will I read from the database and allow users to login? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there, I got a quick question: I have removed the iterations from the output and I use. Am I missing something? Also, one key thing here, you still have what is required to unlock the hash if you get in contact with it, short of having the password. Can you change your CSS to use black text instead of light gray?
Might help if you want people to read your posts. Nevertheless it does seem to be the default situation around the web. Maybe Mozilla implementing something better will spark a change. What do you think about this from Lastpass? In more basic terms, this further mitigates the risk if we ever see something suspicious like this in the future.
This is giving us the ability to create blacklists of passwords which are custom to us but more on that later. While this is a nice post, I think you can achieve similar results with a much simpler solution like dot used for concatenation as if this was PHP ; :. Therefore something like SQL injection or even full database server compromise given the global salt is in a separate web server does NOT provide access to the salt.
As mentioned by others, the only purpose of the salt is to defeat rainbow tables, the defense against avoiding access to the salt in case of SQL injection can be achieved by simply having another very random and big salt on the web application side. If the web server is compromised you can complicate it all you want but it is game over given that it needs access to everything.
These are orthogonal issues, no? Solving the problem is not dependent on the hash, but rather on basically breaking Diffie—Hellman. What I found interesting about something like this is that it appears, to me, to protect against the case where the attacker knows the salt values.
