All Implemented Interfaces:

PasswordEncryptor
```
public final class BasicPasswordEncryptor
extends java.lang.Object
implements PasswordEncryptor
```
Utility class for easily performing password digesting and checking.

This class internally holds a StandardStringDigester configured this way:
- Algorithm: MD5.
- Salt size: 8 bytes.
- Iterations: 1000.
The required steps to use it are:
1. Create an instance (using new).
2. Perform the desired encryptPassword(String) or checkPassword(String, String) operations.
This class is thread-safe
