Parameters
What is Argon2i?
Argon2i is designed to be resistant to side-channel timing attacks. It uses data-independent memory access, which means the pattern of memory accesses does not depend on the password. This makes it safer against attackers who can observe memory timing but also makes it less resistant to GPU-based attacks compared to Argon2d.
Properties
- Data-Independent: Memory access pattern is independent of the input, protecting against timing attacks.
- Side-Channel Resistant: Best choice for protecting passwords in environments where side-channel attacks are a risk.
- Memory-Hard: Still requires significant memory to compute, deterring parallel attacks.
- Balanced Security: Offers a high level of security while specifically addressing timing-based vulnerabilities.
