What is BCrypt Hash?

Bcrypt is a password hash algorithm based on the Blowfish block cipher algorithm.

The bcrypt function is an adaptive hash function. It makes use of a random salt to prevent rainbow table attacks. The amount of iterations can be increased to make it slower, so it remains resistant to brute-force search attacks via powerful computing machines in the future.

Where is BCrypt Hash used?

The BCrypt hashes is used for storing passwords in database. There are implementations of bcrypt for many languages: C, C++,Java, PHP,Python, C#, Ruby...

Is BCrypt Hash secure?

It was designed to be resistant to brute force attacks and to remain secure despite of hard-ware improvements.
