What is the security requirement on password hashing? Given a password w, its hash is calculated as . This question is about the security requirement on function h. (a) Can we use any function as h for password hashing? For example, can we use the "mod 100" function, which is a common computer science function? (Given any integer value x, "mod 100" function works by "x mod 100," which is a value between [0, 99]; for example, if x = 105, x mod 100 = 5; x = 1000000, x mod 100 = 0;) (b) If not, what is the security requirement on h?
