Are passwords hashed in the browser?
Users data is encrypted on the browser side too. Ah, so a middle man attack would get the encrypted data, but would not be able to decrypt it without the actual password used to login. (users password stored in the DOM on the browser when they logged in).
How can zero-knowledge proof deliver better security?
Zero-knowledge proof can also facilitate transmitting sensitive information like authentication information with better security. It can build a secure channel for the users to employ their information without revealing it. And this way, avoid data leakage in the worst scenarios.
Which is the best definition of a zero knowledge proof?
In cryptography, a zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocol is a method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that they know a value x, without conveying any information apart from the fact that they know the value x. The essence of zero-knowledge proofs is…
Why are acceptances not proved in zero knowledge?
The new party’s acceptance is either justified since the replayer does possess the information (which implies that the protocol leaked information, and thus, is not proved in zero-knowledge), or the acceptance is spurious, i.e., was accepted from someone who does not actually possess the information.
Which is better client side or server side hashing?
Client side hashing is more complex and not any more secure but it does have one advantage and that is the server has zero knowledge of the password which is not the case in server side hashing. In some scenarios you want you (the server) to be deniable.
How to do client side hashing of password using bcrypt?
Just to explain it further, I am using JCryption API for encrypting the password using AES, so the value transmitted over network is AES (SHA1 (MD5 (plain password))) now I want to replace MD5 with Bcrypt only. Rest of the things remain unchanged. Will this approach work against “Man in the middle attack” ?
