A technique that repeatedly applies a cryptographic function to a weak key or password, often a hash or block‐cipher, in a way that forces attackers to expend the same effort per guess as legitimate users do once at login.
What is Key Stretching?
A key metric in quantitative risk management. It estimates how often a specific threat event is expected to occur within a one-year timeframe.
What is Annualized Rate of Occurrence (ARO)?
