The seed produced is then used to build a deterministic wallet and derive its keys. The key-stretching function takes two -parameters: the entropy and a _salt_. The purpose of a salt in a +parameters: the entropy and((("salt"))) a _salt_. The purpose of a salt in a key-stretching function is to make it difficult to build a lookup table enabling a brute-force attack. In the BIP39 standard, the salt has another purpose--it allows the introduction of a passphrase that
