Please add a function for the classical Unix crypt(3) hash
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CODEC-104
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-104
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Christian Hammers
The Sun Java APIs lack a function for the classical Unix crypt(3) hash that was
used in e.g. /etc/passwd or Apache htpasswd and is still widely used dispite
the availablitity of better algorithms like MD5 or SHA.
Apart from me cursing Sun for producing monster crypto APIs but missing the
little things that one really needs, there are already several Apache projects
that implemented UnixCrypt for their own:
org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.core.utils.UnixCrypt
org.apache.fulcrum.crypto.impl.UnixCrypt
and maybe others
bye,
