+ * 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));
