Unencrypted password length vs. Encrypted password length
843810Nov 8 2004 — edited Nov 9 2004Hi,
Can anybody share the formula to get the resulting String length of an encrypted password.
For example: how long will the encrypted String be given a 5 letter unencrypted password?
Will this change across different algo? e.g. MD5/SHA1 and two way hash...
Need this to make sure the database field is of the correct size for the encrypted password...
based on prior experience, the resulting encrypted String is always longer than the inputted password but I cannot find a reference stating the formula...
Thanks in advance
