About Salts

A salt is random data used as an additional input to a hash function. Salts help protect against dictionary attacks and rainbow table attacks.

Recommended lengths:

  • 16 bytes (128 bits) - Standard security
  • 32 bytes (256 bits) - High security
  • bcrypt - Uses 128-bit salt with cost factor
