If I understood correctly, seeds are used to prevent dictionary attacks with precomputed password hashes. However, if somebody finds the correct seed, he could again calculate the hashes on a different, very fast computer, couldn't he? So how long does it take to calculate - let's say - one billion hashes? Do I really gain significant security improvement in using seeds?
