Recommendation for password encryption?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 30, 2022

Sept. 30, 2022

Hi guys. Some time ago I asked about the best way to encrypt a password. Some of the recommendations I got was: 1) Generally for passwords you do not write a decrypt method for security purposes (eg you do not want people to be able to reverse engineer the encrypted password easily) 2) put a little salt 3) There is http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography/PasswordHashingFFI 4) I should not decrypt password but instead I should compare both encrypted versions to see if they are equal. My scenario is the following. I need to store database passwords in text files. So I don't want to let them as plain text. And while I understand 4), I think it's a different scenario than mine. I know that some database driver may allow you to directly send the encrypted password. But still...I have another similar scenario in which I have to store a password and then send it (unencrypted)...so I kind of really need a bi-directional encryption. Now..I would try to avoid having an external library + FFI. Any ideas what is the best thing I can do? And how could I solve 1) if I want bidirectional like in my case? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Re: [Pharo-dev] Pumping FFI documentation

Hi Guillermo, I forked the uFFI booklet repo, branched your "version2", and revised & expanded the introduction section of the first chapter... I decided that before I got too far, I should submit a pull request for just that much and get some feedback in case I need trajectory tuning. Your prose is easy to edit. :^) And it looks like my submission promptly broke Travis...

Testing "Weekly Digest" for GitHub
by Marcus Denker Sept. 30, 2019

Sept. 30, 2019

Hi, There is a ProBot that creates an issue with a weekly summary. By installing it for testing, we got the first report: Weekly Digest (1 July, 2019 - 8 July, 2019) https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/381 I will do some fine-tuning (e.g. disable commits and star-gazers) later. We then can let it run for some weeks and see if it is useful or not. Marcus
