  How To Safely Store A Password - more on hashing

  Another storing-passwords rant, advocating bcrypt above all else. "[because] it’s slow as hell. It uses a variant of the Blowfish encryption algorithm’s keying schedule, and introduces a work factor, which allows you to determine how expensive the hash function will be. Because of this, bcrypt can keep up with Moore’s law. As computers get faster you can increase the work factor and the hash will get slower."
