Flask-Bcrypt is a Flask extension that provides bcrypt hashing utilities for
|
|
your application.
|
|
|
|
Due to the recent increased prevalence of powerful hardware, such as modern
|
|
GPUs, hashes have become increasingly easy to crack. A proactive solution to
|
|
this is to use a hash that was designed to be "de-optimized". Bcrypt is such a
|
|
hashing facility; unlike hashing algorithms such as MD5 and SHA1, which are
|
|
optimized for speed, bcrypt is intentionally structured to be slow.
|
|
|
|
For sensitive data that must be protected, such as passwords, bcrypt is an
|
|
advisable choice.
