  • Patent number: 8238552
    Abstract: A password-based key derivation function includes a sub-function that gets executed multiple times based on an iteration count. A key derivation module computes the iteration count dynamically with each entered password. The iteration count is computed as a function of the password strength. Specifically, the weaker the password, the higher the iteration count; but the stronger the password, the smaller the interaction count. This helps strengthen weaker passwords without penalizing stronger passwords.
