# The java/jBCrypt port

## jBCrypt-0.3 – BCrypt library for Java

## Description

    jBCrypt is a Java implementation of OpenBSD's Blowfish password
    hashing code, compatible with the canonical C implementation of the
    bcrypt algorithm.

    This system hashes passwords using a version of Bruce Schneier's
    Blowfish block cipher with modifications designed to raise the cost
    of off-line password cracking and frustrate fast hardware implementation.
    The computation cost of the algorithm is parametised, so it can be
    increased as computers get faster. The intent is to make a compromise
    of a password database less likely to result in an attacker gaining
    knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using John the Ripper).
