- Method Detail
  - id
```
String id()
```
    return the symbolic name for the algorithm
    
    Returns:
    
    short id e.g.: sha512.
  - params
```
default Set<String> params()
```
    return the list of param names required for this algorithm.
    
    Returns:
    
    set of param names.
  - hash
```
String hash(HashString hashString,
            String password)
```
    Algorithm specific implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the hashed digest.
  - needsSeparator
```
default boolean needsSeparator()
```
    Should the encoded string use the default separator to split fields.
    
    Returns:
    
    true by default.
