Class PasswordEncoder

java.lang.Object
com.serinity.accesscontrol.util.PasswordEncoder
public final class PasswordEncoder extends Object
Utility class for securely encoding and verifying passwords.

This class provides static methods to encode plain-text passwords using the BCrypt hashing algorithm and to verify passwords against their hashed counterparts.

Important: This class is final and has a private constructor to prevent instantiation, as it is intended to be a pure utility class. 

// Example usage
String hashed = PasswordEncoder.encode("mySecretPassword");
boolean matches = PasswordEncoder.isConfirmPassword("mySecretPassword", hashed);

This class is suitable for storing password hashes securely in databases and for verifying user-provided passwords during authentication.
