  defaultHashPassword()
  hashPassword()


Class: PasswordHasher  - X-Ref

getAlgorithm(string $algorithmName)   X-Ref

It replaces a method based on the algorithm provided by
Daniel Rentz of OpenOffice and the PEAR package
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer by Xavier Noguer <xnoguer@rezebra.com>.

Scrutinizer will squawk at the use of bitwise operations here,
but it should ultimately pass.

hashPassword(string $password, string $algorithm = '', string $salt = '', int $spinCount = 10000)   X-Ref
Create a password hash from a given string by a specific algorithm.

2.4.2.4 ISO Write Protection Method

param: string $password Password to hash
param: string $algorithm Hash algorithm used to compute the password hash value
param: string $salt Pseudorandom string
param: int $spinCount Number of times to iterate on a hash of a password
