encryption - Block ciphers SALT: clear text or secret? -

-

There are many articles and quotes on the Web that a 'salt' should be kept secret even on Wikipedia entry :

For the best protection, the value of salt is kept secret, the password is different from the database. It provides a benefit when the database is stolen but not salt. In order to set a password from the stolen hash, an attacker can not try the normal password (such as the word or name of the English language). Rather, they have to count the swans of random characters (at least those who know about input are salt), which is very slow.

Since I know about a fact, encryption salt (or initial vector) is okay to store on clear text with encrypted text, I Is ask?

My idea is that the origin of the problem is a common misconception between encryption salt ( initial vector of block cipher) and hashing 'salt'. It is a common practice to add a common, or 'salt' to the collection of hashed passwords, and this (minor) is true that 'salt' is kept secret, in lieu it does not make salt, But there is a key similar to the very clearly designated Secret . If you added the article to Wikipedia 'salt' entry you will see that this is the kind of 'salt' you are talking about, has a password hash I disagree with most of these plans because I believe that password Storage plans should also be allowed, in this case only the potential storage user name is the Highest Digest: realm: password, see.

If you have any opinion on this issue, please post it as a response here.

  1. Do you think the salt should be hidden for cipher encryption? Explain why and how .
  2. Do you agree that the blanket details 'salts should be hidden' is generated by salted hashing and does not apply to encryption?
  3. Can we include REP ciphers (RC4) in the discussion?

If you are talking about IV, in block cipher, it definitely Should be clear from Most people secretly make their peers weak IV

The fourth should be random, each encryption should be different, it is very difficult to manage a random IV. Some people only use a certain IV, defeating the purpose of IV.

I used to work with a password with a password, which was encrypted with secret IV. The same password is always encrypted with the same cipher text. This rainbow table is very prone to attack.

I am getting an error with php in order to format mysql_query () in php to format this string What is the right way? SELECT SELECT SELECT (*) Agents @AgentCount; User_Agent_English, User_Angent_Oursal, US.___Gent_Aginal, COUNT (User_Agent_Percade) ACC, COUNT (*) / (AgentCount) Percentage by agents user_agent_preser order DEC limit limit 50; In PHP, how am i setting $ query $ query = "SELECT count (*) agents @ agentcount; SELECT user_agent_parsed, User_agent_original , COUNT (user_agent_parsed) ascount, COUNT (*) / (@AgentCount) as a percentage by user_agent_parced by URI date DESC limit 50 "; This exact query will work properly if I put it in MySQL directly through a command line session. Do I need to release two separate php calls from mysql_query () and store the results first? I get the following error: There is an error in your SQL syntax; Instead of using a sub-selection and instead of using the 'SELECT user_agent_parsed, user_agent_original, ne...

url rewriting - How to implement the returnurl like SO in PHP? -

-
This URL should work even after the rewrite. Is this possible? Otherwise, I can only hardcoded everything If you are trying to create a login system with redirection You need to use the HTTP_REFERER header to find out where the user came from so that you can send it back there. The best way to do this is to use something like this in your login form: // - Login php & Lt; Input type = "password" name = "password" /> & Lt; Input type = "hidden" name = "returnrelale" value = "& lt ;? php echo $ redirectURL ;? & gt;" / & Gt; & Lt; / Form & gt; Please note that some ISP, browser or proxy will delete the referrer header, so you can not rely on each user to work fully. If you use a statement, to check whether the header exists or not, you can send those users back to the homepage or whatever. Edit If you are looking to use $ _SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'], if you are running Apache It sho...

Which Python client library should I use for CouchdB? -

-
I am starting to experiment with CouchDB because it looks like we have the right solution to certain problems That all the work will be on a new project, which does not have any legacy dependency, which the client library will suggest you use, and why? If we overlap any of the OS. Freeband is available only in the collection of its ports, but asks to use the library's project website. None of those people are Ubuntu, which is only with ships, since those two OSAs are not common in libraries, I am probably installing something from source (and hopefully if I have time, then Ubuntu and FreeBSD People pack the package). For those interests, I want to use CouchDB as a convenient intermediate storage space for data passed between different services - think of a message bus system, but less formalities with. For example, we have daemons that download and pars the web page, then send an interesting bit to other daemons for further processing. Many of them are ill-defined until the...
