Interface PasswordAlgorithm

All Known Implementing Classes:

PlainTextPasswordAlgorithm

public interface PasswordAlgorithm

This interface represents an hashing algorithm used to hash passwords. Implementations of this interface must validate the following contract :

For a given String password, we have the invariant verifyPassword(password, hashPassword(password)) == true.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	hashPassword(java.lang.String password) Hashes the given password using the algorithm represented by this class.
boolean	verifyPassword(java.lang.String plainTextPassword, java.lang.String hashedPassword) Checks if the given hashed password is the image of the given plain text password by the method hashPassword(String).

Method Detail

hashPassword

java.lang.String hashPassword(java.lang.String password)

Hashes the given password using the algorithm represented by this class.

Parameters:

password - the plain text password to hash

Returns:

the hashed password

verifyPassword

boolean verifyPassword(java.lang.String plainTextPassword,
                       java.lang.String hashedPassword)

Checks if the given hashed password is the image of the given plain text password by the method hashPassword(String).

Parameters:

plainTextPassword - the plain text password to check validity of

hashedPassword - the hashed password to check plain text password against

Returns:

true if the hashed password is the image of the plain text password by the hashPassword(String) method
