ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that accommodates different types of verifiers in a computer system. During operation, the system receives a username and a password. The system then computes a verifier based on the password. If the size of the verifier exceeds a storage limit, the system transforms the verifier into a transformed verifier which conforms to the storage limit, thereby allowing the computer system to compare the transformed verifier with a locally stored verifier associated with the username to facilitate user authentication.
