Some passwords are stored using specialized encryption algorithms known as hashes. Why is this
an appropriate method?
A.
It is impossible to crack hashed user passwords unless the key used to encrypt them is
obtained.
B.
If a user forgets the password, it can be easily retrieved using the hash key stored by
administrators.
C.
Hashing is faster compared to more traditional encryption algorithms.
D.
Passwords stored using hashes are non-reversible, making finding the password much more
difficult.
