pneudralics Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I sha 1 the password field now what do I do when they try to login? Do I just sha1 the $_POST password and compare that with the sha1 password in the database? Also... I was reading some post about sha1 and was wondering what people were refering to when they were talking about salt? Thanks in advance.

mikesta707 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 yes you just sha1 the $_POST password. As far as the salt goes, I dont know too much about it, but a salt is basically a string that you base an encryption on. I don't really know if salts have their own special format, or if you just write some random string. I also dont know how the salt impacts the encryption Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156066-solved-sha1-password-now-what-do-i-do-when-they-try-to-login/#findComment-821591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
