PBKDF2 Performance Matters

blog

Joseph Birr-Pixton gave a talk last week at Passwords15 in Vegas. He talks about it in his blog and there is a video of his presentation. And it’s really good! He says “my slides were 100% algebra before someone told me to put diagrams instead”. And the diagrams are very well made, really comprehensible. I felt like I learned a bunch of stuff in a few minutes, which I rarely feel after watching a talk. So spare a few minutes will you!
