pdk.util.Crypto

functions to encrypt/decrypt data

Functions

• encode

• match

---

encode

Encode the raw string. Generally, a good encoding algorithm applies a SHA-1 or greater hash combined with an 8-byte or greater randomly generated salt.

Arguments:

• cleanString :: pdk.core.String

Result:

• output :: pdk.core.String - encoded string

Possible exceptions

• NullPointerException - throws if the cleanString argument is NULL

---

match

Verify the encoded string matches the submitted clean string after it too is encoded. Returns true if the strings match, false if they do not. The encoded string itself is never decoded.

Arguments:

• cleanString :: pdk.core.String

• encodedString :: pdk.core.String - encoded by pdk.util.Crypto.encode function

Result:

• output :: pdk.core.Boolean - true if the clean string, after encoding, matches the encoded string.

Possible exceptions

• NullPointerException - throws if the cleanString or the encodedString argument is NULL
