```
- Method Detail
  - getName
```
public java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns the name for this hash function. Returns "BCrypt".
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in class HashFunction
  - compute
```
public java.lang.String compute(java.lang.String msg,
                                java.lang.String salt)
```
    Description copied from class: HashFunction
    
    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 or could be Base64-encoded.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compute in class HashFunction
  - verify
```
public boolean verify(java.lang.String msg,
                      java.lang.String salt,
                      java.lang.String hash)
```
    Description copied from class: HashFunction
    
    Verifies a message with the salted hash.
    The base implementation will recompute the hash of the message with the given salt, and compare it to the hash.
    Some methods however store the salt and additional settings in the hash, and this information is thus needed to verify the message hash.
    
    Overrides:
    
    verify in class HashFunction
  - main
```
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
```
