[jira] Updated: (DERBY-4483) Provide a way to change the hash algorithm used by BUILTIN authentication

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4483?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-4483:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
The BUILTIN authentication scheme protects the passwords by hashing them with the SHA-1 algorithm. It would be nice to have way to specify a different algorithm so that users can take advantage of new, stronger algorithms provided by their JCE provider if so desired.

This issue tracks our response to a security vulnerability, which Marcell Major identified. See http://marcellmajor.com/derbyhash.html
