Trait mini_functions::hash::models::hash_algorithm::HashingAlgorithm
source · pub trait HashingAlgorithm {
// Required method
fn hash_password(password: &str, salt: &str) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>;
}Expand description
Represents a generic hashing algorithm.
The HashingAlgorithm trait defines a common interface for hashing algorithms.
Implementing this trait for different hashing algorithms ensures that they can be used
interchangeably for hashing passwords.
The primary consumer of this trait is the Hash struct, which uses it to handle the hashing
logic in a decoupled and extendable manner.
Required Methods§
sourcefn hash_password(password: &str, salt: &str) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>
fn hash_password(password: &str, salt: &str) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>
Hashes a given password using a specific salt.
Given a plaintext password and a salt, this method returns a hashed representation
of the password. The hashing algorithm used is determined by the implementing type.
Parameters
password: The plaintext password to be hashed.salt: A cryptographic salt to prevent rainbow table attacks.
Returns
Returns a Result containing the hashed password as a vector of bytes.
If hashing fails, returns a String detailing the error.
Object Safety§
This trait is not object safe.
