So, is there a solution for proper password encryption? Something that will protect your valuable data and resources no matter what? Yes, there is! It comes in the form of the BCrypt hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazieres in 1999.

BCrypt is based on the Blowfish block cipher cryptomatic algorithm and takes the form of an adaptive hash function. But why should you use it to protect your data and resources? To explain, we're going to need to get a little technical..

Using a Key Factor, BCrypt is able to adjust the cost of hashing. With Key Factor changes, the hash output can be influenced. In this way, BCrypt remains extremely resistant to hacks, especially a type of password cracking called rainbow table.

This Key Factor will continue to be a key feature as computers become more powerful in the future. Why? Well, because it compensates for these powerful computers and slows down hashing speed significantly. Ultimately slowing down the cracking process until it's no longer a viable strategy.

If you have sensitive data or information that you need to be protected, ensuring it is secured correctly is vital. As we have seen, there are many ways to secure this information through various password methods, but only BCrypt offers a truly robust solution.

So, why not OdooERP to be secured with this solution. So, we have implemented Bcrypt solution in the Odoo.
