Blind Hashing

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 5, 2015, 3 p.m. (25 minutes).

Dubbed 'Security by Obesity' on Reddit, Blind Hashing entangles password hashes with a massive pool of completely random data. The data pool acts as a common defense fund to completely protect passwords against offline password cracking attacks.

Presenters:

• Jeremy Spilman
  Jeremy is the inventor of Blind Hashing and the first micropayment channel implementation in Bitcoin. He aims to create technology which measurably improves our security and privacy against the most well-provisioned hackers and corporate interests, deeply believing that everyone has the right to security in their digital identity and privacy in their digital footprints.
