I'm working on a password management system which stores the passwords of a bunch of services (gmail, bank of america account, youtube etc). The user will be able to launch each of these services by logging into my application. The application will then POST the username and password associated with that service to that service's login u...
i need a command or a script returning supported hashing algorithms (for hashing passwords) on a system, i mean algorithms can be used with pam.d configuration files or login.defs . generally md5,bigcrypt,sha256, sha512 and blowfish are supported but i need to programmatically check if new algorithm is supported and determine it in my s...

I need to "password protect" my application but need advice on where to store the password securely. How I intend to do this: The first time the program is run, I will prompt the user to create a password. The password will be salted and hashed in SHA-256 then stored in either the Registry or a file. The Problem: If I store the hashe...

I thought this would've been a lot simpler but at this point I'm confused and haven't progressed at all. Basically, I need to be able to accept a password from a user in a WPF app, encrypt it then store this in a database and be able to decrypt later on. However I'm not sure how to implement this. This is completely trivial so whether...
There's plenty of discussion on the best algorithm - but what if you're already in production? How do you upgrade without having to reset on the user? EDIT/DISCLAIMER: Although I originally wanted a "quick fix" solution and chose orip's response, I must concede that if security in your application is important enough to be even bothe...

I am using the Zend Framework for construction of my site, which uses the application.ini file to store database info (such as username and password).

Is there standard way to generate Password Hash with Microsoft development tools? Or maybe there is most common way. (I have read that there is MD5, STA1) Unfortunately I don't have server's source code, but have to consume SOAP web-services. The must be some algorithm to generate hash code. I need to implement it using Java or using s...
I have a regex validating a password value to be > 6 < 25 characters with at least one number. var passwordRegEx = /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]).{6,25}$/; if(!#quickRegister_Password').val().test(pass)) { errorMgs += 'Your password must be at least 6 characters and have at least 1 number and 1 letter.\r\n'; } It works in Firefox, Chrome...
I'm currently researching user authentication protocols for a website I'm developing. I would like to create an authentication cookie so users can stay logged in between pages. Here is my first bash: cookie = user_id|expiry_date|HMAC(user_id|expiry_date, k) Where k is HMAC(user_id|expiry_date, sk) and sk is a 256 bit key only known ...
Hello This I think may be a silly question, but I have become quite confused on what I should do here for the best. When salting a password hash, should the salt also be hashed or left as plaintext? NOTE: I am hashing a password in SHA-256 and the Salt is a pre defined string as only one password will ever be stored at a time. TIA C...
