All Known Implementing Classes:

PKCS5S2PasswordHashGenerator

public interface PasswordHashGenerator

Used by DefaultPasswordEncoder to generate encoded password bytes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
byte[]	generateHash(byte[] password, byte[] salt) Encodes the rawPassword bytes and salt according to their method specified by the implementation.
int	getRequiredSaltLength() Returns the required salt length for this hash generator, zero if this generator does not require a salt or -1 if the generator accepts salts of varying length.

Method Detail

generateHash

byte[] generateHash(byte[] password,
                    byte[] salt)

Encodes the rawPassword bytes and salt according to their method specified by the implementation. The encoded bytes should be returned without including the salt.

Parameters:

password - the password to be encoded

salt - a salt which may be used by some algorithms

Returns:

the encoded password bytes (without appending or prepending the salt)

getRequiredSaltLength

int getRequiredSaltLength()

Returns the required salt length for this hash generator, zero if this generator does not require a salt or -1 if the generator accepts salts of varying length.
