storedHash
storedHash refers to a cryptographic hash value that a system saves in a data store to represent a secret, typically a user password, rather than storing the secret itself. The stored value enables verification of the secret during authentication without exposing it in plaintext.
In a typical authentication flow, a user enters a password. The system retrieves the corresponding storedHash
To protect against precomputed attacks, a random salt is usually used and stored with the hash. Strong
Security considerations: If the stored hash is stolen, an attacker can attempt offline guessing, but effectiveness
In broader use, the term storedHash can also refer to any cryptographic hash retained to verify data
