• One-way function: The system stores only the value of a function based on the
user's password.When the user presents a password, the system transforms
that password and compares it with the stored value. In practice, the system
usually performs a one-way transformation (not reversible) in which the
password is used to generate a key for the one-way function and in which a
fixed-length output is produced.
• Access control: Access to the password file is limited to one or a very few
accounts.
