Password Hashes

Strong password encryption provides an early barrier against attack. Oracle Solaris software provides six password encryption algorithms. The SHA algorithms provide robust password encryption.

Note:

To be FIPS 140-2 approved, use the SHA algorithms. For information, see passwd Command as a FIPS 140-2 Consumer in Using a FIPS 140-2 Enabled System in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
