P55 technology vs static hashes

Why is dynamic hashing needed when we have good static hashes? Because you need salt, pepper, and increased processing power to stay ahead. Dynamic hashing ensures credentials aren’t reusable, verifies transactions, and enhances document, API, and network security.
P55 technology vs static hashes

At times we get the question: "Why is dynamic hashing needed when we have good static hashes that we use salt, pepper, and that increases the processing power needed for every guess attempt?". Well... the answer is really in that question. Because you need salt, pepper and increased processing power to stay ahead.

"But what can a dynamic hashing technology bring to the table?"

I am glad you asked. 😁 breathing in

I am sure some of these also can be used by a static hash or encryption but the point is that P55 DynaKey is fast and very secure. It is a simplified version of the technoloty than the one in P55 ProGuard and P55 OTP but they are not as fast. The P55 DynaKey can be used as a library in your own code. Something, for security reasons, is not available for P55 ProGuard or P55 OTP where we want to segregate the generation and verification. Anyway, i am getting too technical again so i better stop writing.

If you have any questions as to what P55 DynaKey can do for you, or if you are curious as to how you can use P55 DynaKey in any of the examples above, send us a note.
