  Description     : libjbcrypt-java -- Java implementation of
OpenBSD's Blowfish hashing

jBCrypt is an implementation of Blowfish block cipher with modifications
designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking and frustrate fast
hardware implementation.

The intent is to make a compromise of a password database less likely to
result in an attacker gaining knowledge of the plaintext passwords (e.g. using
John the Ripper).
