The Picard ManeuverOr maybe introduce them to Little Bobby Tables
jackeryjooWhile on the topic, this isn’t how passwords work in systems.
Passwords are stored as one way hashes. So it’s cryptoed only in one direction, it’s lossy, and can’t be recovered back to the original password.
When you log on, your cleartext PW is hashed in ephemeral memory/storage and then the cleartext password is thrown away.
That hash is compared to the hash in the DB. If the hash matches, then you have access. If it doesn’t, then your PW is incorrect.
cryptoed Unless you were looking for a sick rhyme for tiptoed, try encrypted.
No, I mean Crypto libraries.
The field of science and engineering that has the algorithms and libraries we would need to use to perform a proper one way encrypted hash, is going to be found in a cryoptographic library.
I suspect you’re thinking of Crypto in how it’s applied colloquially in the world today with a cryptographically signed linked-list ledger. There’s a whole world of cryptography that’s in use. Encryption is just one sub-function in that world.
