Bcrypt Introduction

bcrypt is a cryptographic hash function developed by American computer scientists Niels Provos and David Mazières based on the Blowfish encryption algorithm, which was presented at USENIX in 1999. The implementation of bcrypt uses a salted process to prevent rainbow table attacks. Bcrypt is also an adaptive function that can be protected by increasing the number of iterations against the increasing computer performance to be cracked by brute force.
