Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Adding a random string of characters, known as a 'salt,' to a password before hashing it is known as salting. This technique strengthens passwords by ensuring that even if two users have the same password, their hashes will be different due to the unique salt, making it much harder for attackers to crack passwords using precomputed tables.
