Can someone figure out why the output of these (php and java) snippets of code don't return the same SHA512 for the same input?
$password = 'whateverpassword';
$salt = 'ieerskzcjy20ec8wkgsk4cc8kuwgs8g';
$salted = $password.'{'.$salt.'}';
$digest = hash('sha512', $salted, true);
echo "digest: ".base64_encode($digest);
for ($i = 1; $i < 5000; $i++) {
$digest = hash('sha512', $digest.$salted, true);
}
$encoded_pass = base64_encode($digest);
echo $encoded_pass;
This is the code on the android application:
public String processSHA512(String pw, String salt, int rounds)
{
try {
md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512");
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException("No Such Algorithm");
}
String result = hashPw(pw, salt, rounds);
System.out.println(result);
return result;
}
private static String hashPw(String pw, String salt, int rounds) {
byte[] bSalt;
byte[] bPw;
String appendedSalt = new StringBuilder().append('{').append(salt).append('}').toString();
try {
bSalt = appendedSalt.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
bPw = pw.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported Encoding", e);
}
byte[] digest = run(bPw, bSalt);
Log.d(LCAT, "first hash: " + Base64.encodeBytes(digest));
for (int i = 1; i < rounds; i++) {
digest = run(digest, bSalt);
}
return Base64.encodeBytes(digest);
}
private static byte[] run(byte[] input, byte[] salt) {
md.update(input);
return md.digest(salt);
}
The library for base64 encoding is this: base64lib
This java code is actually some modified code I found around another question in StackOverflow. Although the Android code is running fine it doesn't match with the output from the php script. It doesn't even match the first hash!
Note 1: On php hash('sha512',$input, $raw_output)
returns raw binary output
Note 2: On java I tried to change the charset (UTF-8, ASCII) but it also didn't work.
Note 3: The code from the server can not be changed, so I would appreciate any answer regarding how to change my android code.
