BCrypt Information & Best Practices

What is BCrypt?

BCrypt is a password hashing function designed to be slow and computationally expensive, making it resistant to brute-force attacks. It's based on the Blowfish cipher and is widely used in web applications for secure password storage.

Salt Rounds Explained

Salt rounds determine the computational cost (2^rounds). Higher values are more secure but take longer to compute. Recommended: 10-12 rounds for most applications, 12-15 for high-security applications.

Security Features

BCrypt automatically generates a random salt for each password, making rainbow table attacks ineffective. It's adaptive, meaning you can increase the cost factor as hardware improves.

Best Practices

Use 10-12 rounds for most applications. Higher rounds for high-security applications. Always store the full hash including the salt. Never store plain text passwords.

Why Choose BCrypt?

BCrypt is specifically designed for password hashing. It's slow by design, making brute-force attacks computationally expensive. It's battle-tested and widely adopted in the industry.

Implementation Tips

Always use a secure random salt. Store the complete hash string. Use appropriate round values based on your security requirements. Consider the computational cost for your application.

Common Use Cases

  • Web Applications: Secure user password storage
  • API Authentication: Hash API keys and tokens
  • Database Security: Protect sensitive data
  • Mobile Apps: Secure local password storage
  • Enterprise Systems: High-security password management

Security Tips

  • Never use BCrypt for general-purpose hashing
  • Always use HTTPS when transmitting passwords
  • Implement proper password policies
  • Consider using additional security measures like 2FA
  • Regularly update your security practices
