Security through Obesity

Security through Obesity

A really interesting way to store passwords. Short version: store the hashes in a table, with no foreign key what-so-ever, such that:

  1. The owner of a given password is no longer explicitly discernible.
  2. You can fill the hashes table with tons of false hashes, making it difficult to know which hashes to brute force.
