Comment on My adventure in designing API keys

Comments

I don't even understand what approach 3 is doing. They ended up hashing the random part of the API key with an hash function that produces a small hash and stored that in the metashard server is that it?

yea... sorry I still am not the best explainer but that is the approach, I just wanted to have a shorter hash in the meta shard that is it. The approach 3 is an attempt by me to generate my own base62/base70 encoder ;-;
