The Password Encryption Utility tool is used to securely encrypt passwords to protect sensitive information. Here's a detailed overview:
Utilizes strong encryption algorithms like SHA-256, bcrypt, and PBKDF2.
Adds a random salt to each password before encryption to prevent rainbow table attacks.
Converts passwords into a hashed format that is difficult to revert back to plain text.
Ensures that the password meets security standards for complexity.
Protects passwords from being easily decrypted if accessed by unauthorized parties.
Helps meet security standards and compliance requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS.
Enhances user trust by ensuring their information is securely stored.
Reduces the risk of common attacks like brute force, dictionary attacks, and rainbow table attacks.
Select the encryption algorithm suitable for your security needs (e.g., bcrypt for strong security).
Create a unique salt for each password.
Combine the password with the salt and apply the chosen encryption algorithm to hash the password.
Save the hashed password and associated salt securely in your database.
