--- Comment #17 from Tyler Romeo <tylerro...@gmail.com> 2011-10-04 23:26:16 UTC --- Well, I made a draft implementation of pbkdf2 in PHP's hash module, and compared them both on my Core 2 Duo server. I used the SHA-512 hash of "test1" and the hash of "test2" as the password and salt respectively, and I used 100,000 iterations for PBKDF2 (recommended is 1000+). And on an average of 1000 iterations, the PHP code actually was 0.0419 seconds faster than the C code, which was a 25% difference. Now I'm assuming this is just some trivial overhead that caused the PHP code to be faster, but the point is that the C code doesn't really have that much of an advantage. Most of the heavy work (the actual hashing) is being done down in C anyway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
