A simple utility class to hash passwords and check passwords VS hashed values.

## Summary

It uses a combination of hashing and unique salt. The algorithm used is **PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512** which, although not the best for hashing password (vs. *bcrypt*) is still considered robust and recommended by NIST. The hashed value has 512 bits. 

This utility is inspired from the following links:
