std::string Wt::Auth::MD5HashFunction::compute ( const std::string &  msg,
const std::string &  salt 
) const
virtual

Computes the hash of a message + salt.

The message is usually an ASCII or UTF-8 string.

The salt and the computed hash are encoded in printable characters. This is usually ASCII-encoded (as for the UNIX crypt() functions) or could be Base64-encoded.

Implements Wt::Auth::HashFunction.

std::string Wt::Auth::MD5HashFunction::name ( ) const
virtual

Returns the name for this hash function.

Returns "MD5".

Implements Wt::Auth::HashFunction.
