Is Bcrypt a hashing algorithm or is my study material wrong?
You're not wrong to call bcrypt a ‘hashing algorithm’, but they're not wrong that it is qualitatively different from the others—although it is curious that they single out bcrypt and not HMAC too. … We can group them into three categories:
bcrypt is meant to be a password hash, also known as a password-based key derivation function, whose purpose is to be expensive to compute so that even if it …
