SY0-701 Exam - Question 2


Which of the following is used to add extra complexity before using a one-way data transformation algorithm?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Salting is the process of adding random data to the input of a one-way hash function to ensure that identical inputs produce unique hashes, thereby increasing the complexity and security of the hash. This method helps to prevent attacks such as precomputed hash tables or rainbow tables.

D. Salting Salting involves adding random data to the input of a one-way hash function to ensure that the same input will produce different hash values, thus making it more difficult for attackers to use precomputed hash tables (rainbow tables) to reverse engineer the original input.

Key stretching is used for weak keys, it will hash the pw, then hash that, then hash the hash of the hash and so forth. Makes the cracking process longer for the attacker Salting is adding random or unique extra character to the password so when cracked it is not the actual PW the attacker thinks
