Field Detail

PASSWORD_DIGEST_ALGORITHM

public static final java.lang.String PASSWORD_DIGEST_ALGORITHM

Configuration setting allowing to specify algorithm to generate message digests for verifying passwords. The standard names of the algorithms are defined by Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification Reference http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html#AppA

Constant Field Values

PASSWORD_DIGEST_ALGORITHM_DEFAULT

public static final java.lang.String PASSWORD_DIGEST_ALGORITHM_DEFAULT

Default algorithm to use to encrpt passwords. Get a message digest object using the SHA1 algorithm (since MD5 showed recently vulnerability).

Constant Field Values

PASSWORD_ALGORITHM_PROVIDER_DEFAULT

public static final java.lang.String PASSWORD_ALGORITHM_PROVIDER_DEFAULT

Default provider algorithm of which to use. By default we use Bouncy Castle algoritm implementations.
