Offense wins games, defense wins championshipsThrough the ages, life and property were subject to different kinds of attacks on all sides from all elements. Defense went under many different kinds of terms and definitions. As strategies of attacks diversified to pin down a prey, so was defense and counterattacks went to their own extent. Foresight and anticipation were tactics enough to repulse an impending bloody fracas when efforts of diplomacy go futile, not to mention a heavy arsenal of warriors and weaponry at the standby.Now that drives of world domination shift to the digital battleground, it is imperative that a sound digital defense strategy must be put in place before any platform plan is to be carried out.Cryptographic Hash FunctionsAn algorithm that houses a contingent quantity of input data then creates a default output of enciphered characters is called a cryptographic hash value, or simply hash. It is stored and used to verify the user instead of a password. Cryptographic hash functions produce high quality of security as stated in the following:It cannot be reversed. A hash functions on a one-way mode which makes it almost impossible to recreate the original password from the hash.It is diffused. Changing even a bit of the original password will change almost half of the bits or characters of the password. A slight change can effect an avalanche of unpredictable changes in the output of the enciphered text.It is determined. Meaning, a password should always produce the same enciphered text or hash value.Resistant to collision. Two different passwords cannot be hashed to the same hash value.It is not predictable. There is no way that the enciphered text can be predicted from the password value.Dangers Facing Hash Functions\u201cThere is no easy way\u2026\u201dAttackers will have a hard time deciphering hash values since the hash transforms cleartext\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
