Parameters

  String

The plaintext password to be hashed.

  Byte[]

A random value used as an additional input to the one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. This is used to make each output different for the same input thus adding security.

  Object[]

Optional constructor arguments for the IPasswordAlgorithm implementation instance.

Type Parameters

The type of IPasswordAlgorithm implementation to use.

Return Value

Password
A new Password object with the given password and salt, as well as an instance of T created using the provided constructor arguments.
