Class PasswordObscurification


  • public final class PasswordObscurification
    extends Object
    This class handles basic password obscurification. Note that it's not really encryption, it's more obfuscation. Passwords are difficult to read, not impossible.

    This implementation guarantees consistent results for all valid character ranges.
