If, for + example, a password takes 0.05 seconds to verify, a user won't notice the + slight delay when signing in, but doing a brute force search of several + billion passwords will take a considerable amount of time. This is in + contrast to more traditional hash functions such as MD5 or the SHA family + which can be implemented extremely fast on cheap hardware. |
