Hash64 - Encoding Wrapper around base64
Hash64 is the term Python's passlib coined for a variant of base64
encoding traditionally used for encoding password hashes in
passwd(5) files.
FreeBSD's md5crypt by Poul-Henning Kamp introduced the $1$
identifier which was chosen since $ does not appear in the Hash64
character map and thus avoided collisions with existing DES hashes;
thus laying the groundwork for what is now refered to as the Modular
Crypt Format. A number of schemes in MCF use Hash64 to encode salt and
hash digest.
This encoding type is usually unpadded.
Hash64 implements two trivial wrappers Hash64.StdEncoding for the
unpadded encoding and Hash64.PadEncoding for the padded one. They
are of type *base64.Encoding, and as such the regular functions
offered by it can be used: Decode, DecodeToString, DecodedLen,
Encode, EncodeToString and EncodedLen.
