I need to have a password encrypted and compared to a value found in a mysql table as part of a log on for my JSP application. I'm new to Encryption under java and I was wondering what is the best way of doing so. I have been looking online to no avail. Just a point in the right direction would be great. Thanks

Hi riches85:
It depends on your security needs. To place a password input in the html with a post form method should be enough for basic security. But still an amateur hacker could sniffer the passwords. I will search my files for a security application embedded with java, I can't remember the name right now.
The following code loads the libpassword.so library to work with passwords in Java:
public class Password
{
public Password()
{
}
public static native int GETAPPS(String s, String as[]);
public static native boolean changePassword(String s, String s1, String s2)
throws PasswordException;
public static native boolean checkPassword(String s, String s1)
throws PasswordException, DefaultPasswordException;
public static native boolean overridePassword(String s, String s1, String s2)
throws PasswordException;
static
{
System.loadLibrary("password"
;
}
}
As soon as I find the application name I will post it.
Hope it helps.
