BCrypt Work Factor’s impact on hashing?
Track: Java
Topic: OWASP Vulnerabilities
Focus: SQL Injection
Java: SQL Injection
Answer
The work factor determines the computational cost of hashing.
The BCrypt work factor specifies how intensive the hashing process should be, affecting the time it takes to compute a hash. A higher work factor increases security by making brute force attacks more difficult, but also increases resource consumption.
