CipherHash: A Comprehensive and Secure Solution for Safeguarding Confidentiality and Protecting Sensitive Documents
摘要
The implications of this increase in computational ability for attackers are severe because attackers can now complete billions of hash operations in a second, making prior forms of password storing methods more vulnerable to brute-force attacks and precomputed attacks. Cipherhash uses a random dynamic multi-algorithm approach by choosing a variations of hashing functions (SHA256, SHA384,..) in different iterations. The output of the previous step becomes the input of the next, the specific sequence of algorithms is saved as a unique sequence string that will be stored together with the final hash. This string is what helps replicate the same hashing process during authentication to validate a match. This approach is applied in a chat app where all the session keys are securely generated with the help of Cipherhash. This method provides an efficient, scalable, and secure way of dealing with sensitive information storage.
