Password Storage Scheme

This is an abstract object type that cannot be instantiated.

Password Storage Schemes encode new passwords provided by users so that they are stored in an encoded manner. This makes it difficult or impossible for someone to determine the clear-text passwords from the encoded values.

Password Storage Schemes also determine whether a clear-text password provided by a client matches the encoded value stored in the server.
