jBCrypt Description

jBCrypt is project a Java implementation of OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code. jBCrypt is project a Java implementation of OpenBSD's Blowfish password hashing code, as described in "A Future-Adaptable Password Scheme" by Niels Provos and David Mazires.This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking and frustrate fast hardware implementation. The computation cost of the algorithm is parametised, so it can be increased as computers get faster. The intent is to make a compromise of a password database less likely to result in an attacker gaining knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using John the Ripper). There seems to be a lack of good password hashes for Java - the top two hits in Google (as of 2006/05/24) for "Java password hash" and "Java password encryption" both offer terrible advice: one uses an unsalted hash which allows reverse dictionary lookup of passwords and the other recommends reversible encryption, which is rarely needed and should only be used as a last resort. jBCrypt is licensed under a ISC/BSD licence (see the LICENSE file for details) and ships with a set of JUnit unit tests to verify correct operation of the library and compatibility with the canonical C implementation of the bcrypt algorithm.
