Hi Bob, The code goes something like this
the_password = user password string decrypt_key = MaximizePassword(the_password) salt = 512hash(MaximizePassword(the_password) & pepper character) The password string runs through a "MaximizePassword" function that maximizes the password length even if the user has a 4 character password. Righard G once said to me here something I took to heart...... to defeat a hacker, all you can do is add more cycles. Hence the use of a pepper of alphabet & 0-9. Its now 37 times harder to brute force hack the password. theoretically.
