Create and implement (in any programming language) an
algorithm to manage passwords. This program must:
- Step 1 – store the user password
a. Request a password from the user(s)
b. The user enters his password
c. The program generates a random salt for each user.
d. It adds the salt (at the middle) to the user’s password
and the hash the password + salt and stores the hashed
password and the salt to a file (may store the user’s
name or ID if any). - Step 2 – verify the password
a. Request the user password
b. Read the saved salt, add it to password and hash salt +
password.
c. Compare the result obtained with the stored hash. If
they are the same the user is authenticated.
