Standard salt (16 bytes): Recommended for most applications.
About Salts
- • Salt: Random data added to password before hashing
- • Prevents rainbow table attacks and password precomputation
- • 16 bytes (128 bits): Industry standard recommended minimum
- • 32 bytes (256 bits): Maximum security for critical systems
- • Each password should have a unique salt
- • Salts are stored with password hashes (no need to keep secret)
- • Common use: bcrypt, PBKDF2, Argon2 password hashing
