SignPassword Function

The SignPassword function converts the password entered by the user to its internal encrypted representation.

The encrypted representation of the password is stored in the database and this value is used in validations (comparisons) of password.  In this way, it will be impossible to read the password directly from the User table.

The SignPassword function uses the same signature algorithm that is used by the Integrity Control module.

The SignPassword function is called from the PasswordInput function which converts the password from its displayed to its internal representation.
