A simple CLI to hash passwords and check passwords VS hashed values.
It uses a combination of hashing and unique salt. The algorithm used is PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512 which, although not the best for hashing password (vs. bcrypt) is still considered robust and recommended by NIST. The hashed value has 512 bits.
This utility is inspired from the following links:
- How do I generate a SALT in Java for Salted-Hash?
- How can I hash a password in Java?
- Do any security experts recommend bcrypt for password storage?
