#49387 pbkdf2 time cap and limit may be too aggresive
Closed: wontfix 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by firstyear.

Issue Description

An admin noticed that their machine had a 70% cpu increase with pbkdf2 binds. This is likely related to the time cap being too large, and the minimal threshold being too high especially given the nss impl bug.

We should consider lowering the time amount and minimal cap to help ease people into this scheme. Today, even pbkdf2 at 1024 rounds is better than what we have today in ssha512.

Do I dare suggest making it configurable? I do :-p just a suggestion, not a hard request.

I knew someone would say it ;)

I still want to avoid configuration of this, I think we should be able to get it "right" because most people won't touch it - they'll set and forget, and they'll never make it better again,

I think the issue is we just need to be more conservative instead while the issue in NSS exists.
