Q1Domain Verified
In the context of modern password hashing, what is the primary security advantage of using a salt unique to each password, as emphasized in "The Complete Modern Password Hashing Algorithms Course 2026"?
It encrypts the password before hashing, providing an additional layer of secrecy.
It increases the computational cost for legitimate users to log in.
It prevents attackers from using pre-computed rainbow tables against a database.
It allows for faster password verification by the server.
Q2Domain Verified
The course highlights the importance of adaptive hashing algorithms. Which of the following best describes the core principle behind adaptive hashing algorithms like Argon2?
They rely on hardware-specific optimizations to achieve faster hashing speeds, making them inherently more secure.
They employ a fixed, high computational cost that remains constant regardless of hardware advancements.
They allow for the adjustment of multiple parameters (e.g., memory, parallelism, iterations) to increase computational cost over time.
They dynamically adjust their computational work factor based on the average processing power of typical attackers.
Q3Domain Verified
Why is it crucial to avoid using deterministic hashing algorithms like SHA-256 directly for password storage, according to the advanced modules of the course?
Because SHA-256 is too computationally efficient, making brute-force attacks on a large number of stored hashes feasible.
Because SHA-256 is outdated and has been cryptographically broken, rendering it insecure for any purpose.
Because SHA-256 is prone to collision attacks, allowing attackers to find multiple passwords with the same hash.
Because SHA-256 does not incorporate a salt, making it vulnerable to pre-computation attacks.
