(f) One of the secure solutions to store passwords in a database is storing their hashed value instead of plain text. However, it is possible to find out which users have the same passwords by checking the hashed values. Propose a solution to avoid this problem while still using cryptographic hash functions. Explain how the passwords should be stored using your proposed solution and how they should be checked. (4 marks) (g) Explain how can we check a file is intact using cryptographic hash functions?
