 * Class Hasher provides some basic hashing functions. Furthermore, it supports legacy hashes
 * used by previous versions of ownCloud and helps migrating those hashes to newer ones.
 *
 * The hashes generated by this class are prefixed (version|hash) with a version parameter to allow possible
 * updates in the future.
 * Possible versions:
 * 	- 1 (Initial version)
 *
 * Usage:
 * // Hashing a message
 * $hash = \OC::$server->getHasher()->hash('MessageToHash');
 * // Verifying a message - $newHash will contain the newly calculated hash
 * $newHash = null;
 * var_dump(\OC::$server->getHasher()->verify('a', '86f7e437faa5a7fce15d1ddcb9eaeaea377667b8', $newHash));
 * var_dump($newHash);
