[jira] Created: (CODEC-104) Please add a function for the classical
Unix crypt(3) hash
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,

------------------------------------
Perhaps a o.a.c.c.unix package?

-----------------------------------------
Do we have more crypto related stuff or in other words - would this be a commons-crypto or going into lang or codec?

-----------------------------------------
And I borrowed it from Apache Directory Study to provide the functionality in fulcrum ... ;-)

---------------------------------------
Very true, such a class in commons would be very cool.
The class in Apache Directory Studio is just borrowed, see comments in SVN:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/studio/trunk/ldapbrowser.core/src/main/java/org/apache/directory/studio/ldapbrowser/core/utils/UnixCrypt.java
