1. How to Use PHP Secure Hashing Functions to Avoid Storing Passwords in Plain Text

Updated on: 2021-01-10

Posted on:

SHA is a family of algorithms that process a string of data and compute a number called hash.

Hash computing is useful for several purposes. One of the purposes is to be able to check if the hash of a password entered by the user matches the hash of a password stored in a database.

This way, applications do not need to store plain text passwords in a database, which could cause a serious security problem in the case an application database gets stolen by people with bad intentions.

The package provides a pure PHP implementation of many variants of the SHA hashing algorithm family. Using this package you can implement strong data hashing based solutions, regardless of the PHP version that you use in your server.
