Detailed explanation-1: -In cryptography, the term “Key stretching” refers to a mechanism for extending the length of a cryptographic key to make it more secure against brute-force attacks.
Detailed explanation-2: -In cryptography, a salt is random data that is used as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. Salts are used to safeguard passwords in storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -In symmetric encryption the same key is used for encryption and decryption. It is therefore critical that a secure method is considered to transfer the key between sender and recipient.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudo-random data added to a password before hashing is called: Shim.
Detailed explanation-5: -Asymmetric Key Algorithms The Diffie-Hellman algorithm is mostly used for key exchange. Although symmetric key algorithms are fast and secure, key exchange is always a problem. You have to figure out a way to get the private key to all systems. The Diffie-Hellman algorithm helps with this.
