In system security, hashes play important role in ensuring data. It remains the secure and the management of access rights by those entitled to. The increasing power of hash algorithms, various methods, are carried out one of them using salting techniques. Salt is usually attached as a prefix or postfix to the plaintext before hashing. But applying salt as a prefix or postfix is not enough. There are so many ways to find the plaintext from the resulting cipher text. This research discusses the combination scheme other than the prefix and postfix between password and salt increasing the security of hash algorithms. There is no truly secure system and no algorithm that has no loopholes. But this technique is to strengthen the security of the algorithm. So that, it gives more time if an attacker wants to break into the system. To measure the strength generated from each combination scheme, a tool called Hashcat is used. That is the way known as the best composition in applying salt to passwords.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
