“…Introducing a 26-byte random salt as an additional layer of randomness amplifies the algorithm's cryptographic strength. This newfound salt seamlessly integrates into the Bcrypt algorithm, which employs another salt layer with 12 rounds by incorporating these techniques into the hashing process, the modified algorithm is expected to significantly increase its resistance against various attacks and ensure better data integrity and security [15], [16]. This tandem of salt layers significantly heightens the algorithm's defense against potential attacks, creating an intricate and robust security framework.…”

Email security, particularly against phishing, spoofing, and distributed denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, is a pressing concern given the essential role email plays in accessing various online accounts. The study introduced a modified SHA-512 algorithm, implementing additional security layers including randomly generated salt and the Bcrypt algorithm. The modified SHA-512 was comprehensively evaluated on parameters like hash construction, computational efficiency, data integrity, collision resistance, and attack resistance. The results showed its avalanche percentage exceeded the 50% target, reaching 50.08%. Experimental hash-cracking failed to decode the hashes created by the modified algorithm, verifying its protective efficiency. The algorithm also successfully demonstrated data integrity and collision resistance. This indicates that the enhanced SHA-512 algorithm is an effective, more secure hashing method, particularly applicable to email addresses.
