BCrypt Class

Provides static methods used to encrypt passwords. The encryption is "one-way" meaning that passwords can be encrypted but not decrypted. Although you cannot decrypt a password, you can still validate a password using the checkpw() method. Example usage:

    public class User {
        private String password;

        public boolean authenticate(String password){
            return BCrypt.checkpw(password, this.password);
        }

        public void setPassword(String password){
            this.password = BCrypt.hashpw(password, BCrypt.gensalt());
        }
    }  

This class was originally developed by Damien Miller and is based on Bruce Schneier's Blowfish cipher.
