Why do teams use BCrypt over SHA-256 for password hashing in production code?
Track: Java
Topic: Authentication
Focus: Salting and BCrypt
Java: Salting and BCrypt
Answer
BCrypt is slower and more secure. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
BCrypt is designed to be computationally expensive, making it resistant to brute-force attacks. Unlike SHA-256, BCrypt includes features like salting and work factor adjustments, enhancing its security against modern threats.
