PHP and Whirlpool Encryption
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:02 am
Hi there everyone, I'm new year and after browsing the internet for the answer to my troubles i think this is my final resort.
I'm currently working on a web interface system for a client that allows users to login, view manage and control user accounts that are called from a MySQL database. Everything is written and ready to go live bar 1 major function. The secure login.
I currently have a login script that simply runs of plain text for the purpose of development but now that the system is ready to go live i need to get this system working. So here are the details.
The login system , like most, collects the information from the login form and forwards it to loginscript.php. Once there it needs to encrypt the attempted password and compare it to the stored password. This is where i am having the issues.
I need help with the encryption on the attempted password. The stored passwords are encrypted in whirlpool using a 128 character hash.
If there is someone here who has any knowledge in this area I will be truly grateful,
Thanks for reading,
Callum
