我通常使用SHA1和salt和用户ID(或其他特定于用户的信息)，有时我还使用常数salt(因此我有2部分salt)。

SHA1 is now also considered somewhat compromised, but to a far lesser degree than MD5. By using a salt (any salt), you're preventing the use of a generic rainbow table to attack your hashes (some people have even had success using Google as a sort of rainbow table by searching for the hash). An attacker could conceivably generate a rainbow table using your salt, so that's why you should include a user-specific salt. That way, they will have to generate a rainbow table for each and every record in your system, not just one for your entire system! With that type of salting, even MD5 is decently secure.

我只想指出，PHP 5.5包含一个密码哈希API，它提供了crypt()的包装器。这个API极大地简化了哈希、验证和重哈希密码哈希的任务。作者还发布了一个兼容性包(以您只需要使用的单个password.php文件的形式)，供那些使用PHP 5.3.7及以后版本并希望立即使用它的用户使用。

它目前只支持BCRYPT，但它的目标是轻松扩展到包括其他密码哈希技术，因为技术和成本存储为哈希的一部分，对您首选的哈希技术/成本的更改不会使当前哈希失效，框架将自动地在验证时使用正确的技术/成本。如果您没有显式地定义自己的盐，它还可以处理生成“安全”盐。

API公开了四个函数:

Password_get_info() -返回关于给定散列的信息 Password_hash()—创建密码散列 Password_needs_rehash()—检查给定的散列是否与给定的选项匹配。有用的检查散列是否符合您当前的技术/成本方案，允许您在必要时重新散列 Password_verify()—验证密码是否与散列匹配

目前，这些函数接受PASSWORD_BCRYPT和PASSWORD_DEFAULT密码常量，它们目前是同义词，区别在于PASSWORD_DEFAULT“在支持更新、更强的散列算法的新PHP版本中可能会改变”。在登录时使用PASSWORD_DEFAULT和password_needs_rehash()(并在必要时重新进行散列)应该确保您的散列对暴力攻击具有合理的弹性，几乎不需要做任何工作。

编辑:我刚刚意识到罗伯特·K的回答中简单提到了这一点。我将把这个答案留在这里，因为我认为它提供了更多关于它如何工作的信息，以及它为那些不了解安全性的人提供的易用性。

虽然问题已经回答了，但我只是想重申，用于哈希的盐应该是随机的，而不是像第一个答案中建议的电子邮件地址那样。

Recently I had a discussion whether password hashes salted with random bits are more secure than the one salted with guessable or known salts. Let’s see: If the system storing password is compromised as well as the system which stores the random salt, the attacker will have access to hash as well as salt, so whether the salt is random or not, doesn’t matter. The attacker will can generate pre-computed rainbow tables to crack the hash. Here comes the interesting part- it is not so trivial to generate pre-computed tables. Let us take example of WPA security model. Your WPA password is actually never sent to Wireless Access Point. Instead, it is hashed with your SSID (the network name- like Linksys, Dlink etc). A very good explanation of how this works is here. In order to retrieve password from hash, you will need to know the password as well as salt (network name). Church of Wifi has already pre-computed hash tables which has top 1000 SSIDs and about 1 million passwords. The size is of all tables is about 40 GB. As you can read on their site, someone used 15 FGPA arrays for 3 days to generate these tables. Assuming victim is using the SSID as “a387csf3″ and password as “123456″, will it be cracked by those tables? No! .. it cannot. Even if the password is weak, the tables don’t have hashes for SSID a387csf3. This is the beauty of having random salt. It will deter crackers who thrive upon pre-computed tables. Can it stop a determined hacker? Probably not. But using random salts does provide additional layer of defense. While we are on this topic, let us discuss additional advantage of storing random salts on a separate system. Scenario #1 : Password hashes are stored on system X and salt values used for hashing are stored on system Y. These salt values are guessable or known (e.g. username) Scenario#2 : Password hashes are stored on system X and salt values used for hashing are stored on system Y. These salt values are random. In case system X has been compromised, as you can guess, there is a huge advantage of using random salt on a separate system (Scenario #2) . The attacker will need to guess addition values to be able to crack hashes. If a 32 bit salt is used, 2^32= 4,294,967,296 (about 4.2 billion) iterations will can be required for each password guessed.

最后，在数学上，双重哈希没有任何好处。然而，在实践中，它对于防止基于彩虹表的攻击是有用的。换句话说，它并不比使用salt进行哈希更有好处，后者在应用程序或服务器上占用的处理器时间要少得多。

一个更简短、更安全的答案是:完全不要编写自己的密码机制，使用经过验证和测试的机制。

PHP 5.5或更高版本:password_hash()质量很好，是PHP核心的一部分。 PHP 4。x(过时):OpenWall的phpass库比大多数自定义代码(用于WordPress、Drupal等)要好得多。

大多数程序员只是不具备在不引入漏洞的情况下安全地编写加密相关代码的专业知识。

快速自测:什么是密码拉伸，应该使用多少次迭代?如果你不知道答案，你应该使用password_hash()，因为密码扩展现在是密码机制的一个关键特性，这是由于更快的cpu和gpu和fpga的使用，以每秒数十亿次的猜测速度破解密码(gpu)。

截至2012年，你可以在5台台式电脑上安装25个图形处理器，在6小时内破解所有8个字符的Windows密码。这是强制的，即枚举和检查每个8个字符的Windows密码，包括特殊字符，而不是字典攻击。有了现代gpu，你当然可以破解更多的密码，或者使用更少的gpu——或者以合理的价格在云中租用gpu几个小时。

还有很多针对Windows密码的彩虹表攻击，它们运行在普通cpu上，速度非常快。

这一切都是因为，即使在Windows 10中，Windows也没有对密码进行腌制或拉伸。2021年依然如此。不要犯和微软一样的错误!

很好的回答，更多关于为什么password_hash()或phpass是最好的方法。 一篇很好的博客文章，给出了主要算法的推荐“工作因子”(迭代次数)，包括bcrypt, scrypt和PBKDF2。

在可预见的将来，SHA1和salt应该足够了(当然，这取决于您是为Fort Knox编写代码还是为购物清单编写登录系统)。如果SHA1不够好，可以使用SHA256。

The idea of a salt is to throw the hashing results off balance, so to say. It is known, for example, that the MD5-hash of an empty string is d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e. So, if someone with good enough a memory would see that hash and know that it's the hash of an empty string. But if the string is salted (say, with the string "MY_PERSONAL_SALT"), the hash for the 'empty string' (i.e. "MY_PERSONAL_SALT") becomes aeac2612626724592271634fb14d3ea6, hence non-obvious to backtrace. What I'm trying to say, that it's better to use any salt, than not to. Therefore, it's not too much of an importance to know which salt to use.

实际上有一些网站就是这样做的——你可以给它一个(md5)哈希值，它会吐出一个已知的明文来生成那个特定的哈希值。如果您要访问存储普通md5-哈希值的数据库，那么为这样的服务的管理员输入哈希值并登录就很简单了。但是，如果密码被加密，这样的服务将变得无效。

此外，双重哈希通常被认为是不好的方法，因为它减少了结果空间。所有流行哈希值都是固定长度的。因此，这个固定长度的值是有限的，结果变化不大。这可以被视为另一种形式的盐，但我不建议这样做。
