You could use the java.security.MessageDigest class.
To encrypt
initialize by e.g.
locMsgDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5"); // factory method
and then encrypt by
pinRndStr=pin+rnd;
pinRndByteArr = pinRndStr.getBytes();
resultByteArr = locMsgDigest.digest(pinRndByteArr);
encryptedPin = new String(resultByteArr);
with definitions
String pin="test12345678";
String rnd = "0000";
byte[] pinRndByteArr;
byte[] resultByteArr;
String encryptedPin;
The to be encrypted PIN is here: test123456780000, consisting off a PIN and a Random
Number:
the random number is as simple case 0000.
This PIN is encrypted to the String "encryptedPIN".
See the JDK API for details.
