             Summary: Extend SecureHasher interface to provide implementation-specific "full hash output" string representation
                 Key: NIFI-7125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7125
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework, Security
    Affects Versions: 1.11.1
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto


The current {{SecureHasher}} interface only provides methods which output the "pure" hash of the input (in raw, hex, and Base64 encodings). There should be additional methods which provide the output in the "full" representation, including the algorithm indicator, cost parameters, and salt. 

Example: {{$2a$10$ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV$<pure hash output>}}

It may be sufficient to simply output the full string representation, or a new POJO datatype may be necessary. The benefit of such container should be weighed against the need for algorithm-specific containers in the event the fields are not sufficiently generic.
