Java: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Bcrypt hashes passwords with adjustable work factors to increase hashing time, making attacks computationally harder.

Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed to be slow and adaptive. It employs a work factor (or cost factor), which determines how resource-intensive the hash function is. As computing power increases, the work factor can be increased to make brute-force attacks more difficult. In a Java application managing user credentials, bcrypt is typically used to hash passwords before storing them in the database, ensuring that even if the database is breached, the actual passwords are not exposed.
