password-hashing

This Java library provides a way for password hashing.

Usage

The usage of this library rests on 2 classes. The first one is the Salt that returns a random salt.

The second one is Hash that uses the previously computed salt to process the password hashing.

Maven dependency

<dependency>

  <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Examples

Getting a salt

Salt salt = new Salt(16);
String encodedSalt = salt.toString();

The toString method returns the salt value into a base 64 encoded string. It's useful for saving the salt value.

Hashing a password

Hash hash = new Hash("PASSWORD", salt);
String encodedPassword = hash.toString();

The toString method returns the hashed password into a base 64 encoded string.

Checking password correctness

PasswordChecker checker = new PasswordChecker(encodedPassword, "PASSWORD", encodedSalt);
assertTrue(checker.isCorrect());
