simo5 commented: """ @stiaz, SHA-1 DOES NOT add entropy at all, you need the right number of bits in INPUT for whatever trasformation you use. @mbasti-rh in what way FIPS is incompatible with base64 encoding ? @stiaz, spaces may cause issues in some places where passwords are stored in files or passed (annoyingly) as shell arguments, soit is safer to avoid them in the final output, and given the way the code deal with space that would also simplify the random generator and avoid the bias on 1st and last charcter of the password.
