Description: Memory-hard functions (MHFs) is a class of hash functions whose fast evaluation requires the heavy use of memory, and an evaluation that spends less memory has to incur a much larger time penalty. Memory-hardness is particularly useful in the setting of password hashing and cryptocurrencies, as memory cost is platform-independent and efficient special-purpose hardware for brute-forcing attacks becomes much harder to be built. The author will discuss two such MHF: Argon2(2015) and Balloon(2017). Implementation of both will be considered. A Javascript (nodejs) app using Postman for Argon2 will be demonstrated. Balloon will be implemented on Ubuntu with real-time computational results.
A recording of both presentations will be available within 48 hours of the presentation.
