Ogni applicazione software richiede un nome utente e una password per autenticare l'utente valido. Un nome utente può essere qualcosa di simile a un ID e-mail o semplicemente a una combinazione di caratteri. Ma durante la creazione di una password bisogna stare molto attenti. Perché chiunque abbia credenziali valide può entrare nel sistema e accedere alle informazioni.
Necessità di crittografare una password
Quando un utente imposta la propria password, questa viene archiviata nel database come testo semplice. La memorizzazione del testo normale così com'è nel database non è affatto sicura. Gli hacker potrebbero violare il sistema e rubare le password dal database.
Per garantire la sicurezza della password dell'utente, questa viene crittografata utilizzando diverse tecniche di crittografia. Utilizzando varie tecniche di crittografia, la password in testo semplice viene archiviata in forma crittografata nel database. Esistono molti metodi che possono essere utilizzati per crittografare la password. Ma l’hashing è una delle tecniche di crittografia più apprezzate.
Tecniche di hashing sicuro Java
Il valore hash crittografato viene generato utilizzando determinati algoritmi sulla password in testo semplice fornita dall'utente. La programmazione Java supporta diverse tecniche di hashing per crittografare una password.
Tecnica di hashing MD5
L'MD5 (Message Digest) è un algoritmo di hashing molto popolare. È una funzione hash crittografica che genera un valore hash di 128 bit. Questo algoritmo è definito nel pacchetto java.security nella programmazione Java.

Converting it into hexadecimal format. */ StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder(); for(int i=0; i <bytes.length ;i++) { s.append(integer.tostring((bytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1)); } * complete hashed password in hexadecimal format encryptedpassword="s.toString();" catch (nosuchalgorithmexception e) e.printstacktrace(); display the unencrypted and encrypted passwords. system.out.println('plain-text password: ' password); system.out.println('encrypted using md5: encryptedpassword); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> Plain-text password: myPassword Encrypted password using MD5: deb1536f480475f7d593219aa1afd74c </pre> <p>The above code shows the implementation of <strong> <em>MessageDigest</em> </strong> class in <strong> <em>java.security</em> </strong> package.

SHA512 restituisce un array di byte che deve essere convertito in un formato esadecimale leggibile. Infine, viene visualizzato il valore hash crittografato.
Crittografia basata su password utilizzando Salt e Base64:
La tecnica di crittografia basata su password utilizza password in testo semplice e valori salt per generare un valore hash. E il valore hash viene quindi codificato come stringa Base64. Il valore Salt contiene dati casuali generati utilizzando un'istanza della classe Random dal pacchetto java.util.
Il seguente programma dimostra la crittografia della password utilizzando salt e base64.

- La classe PassEncTech4 contiene il codice del driver per il programma. Genera un valore salt e una password crittografata utilizzando la password in testo semplice fornita. E li verifica utilizzando il valore restituito da verificaPasswordUtente()
- In classe PassBasedEnc, Sono definiti 4 metodi. Il primo metodo è getSaltvalue() che genera il valore utilizzando casuale classe da util pacchetto. Poi hash() è definito che ha un tipo restituito di array di byte. IL generareSecurePassword() utilizza la password in testo semplice e il valore salt con il file hash() metodo. E infine, le due password vengono abbinate utilizzando il file verificaPasswordUtente() metodo.
Tecniche per crackare l'hash
Un valore hash è soggetto a diversi tipi di attacchi da parte degli aggressori. Alcuni di essi sono menzionati di seguito,
Per evitare questo tipo di attacco la passphrase dovrebbe utilizzare una combinazione di alfabeti, numeri e simboli. Un altro modo è impostare un numero fisso di tentativi non validi e successivamente richiedere la verifica umana come un captcha.
