Password Hashing

Recommendation: Argon2, won 2014-2016 password hashing contest

  1. Argon2: Likely to see increased adoption as the new standard for password hashing. Its flexibility and security make it well-positioned for future cryptographic needs.

  2. bcrypt: Will continue to be widely used due to its established presence and simplicity. However, it may gradually be replaced by Argon2 in high-security applications.

  3. scrypt: Will remain relevant, especially in cryptocurrency and other memory-hard applications. However, it may lose ground to Argon2 in general use cases.

  4. PBKDF2: Due to its widespread implementation and FIPS compliance, PBKDF2 will continue to be used, but it's likely to be phased out in favor of more secure alternatives for password hashing.
