4.org.apache.commons.codec.digest    
Simplifies common MessageDigest tasks and includes a libc crypt(3) compatible crypt method that supports DES, MD5, SHA-256 and SHA-512 based algorithms as well as the Apache specific "$apr1$" variant.
简化了信息摘要的工作，MD5（ Message-Digest Algorithm），SHA（Secure Hash Algorithm） 都是单向加密算法，适合做信息摘要， DES （Data Encryption Standard）是对称加密算法，加密和解密所用的密钥相同
//此外，还有一种非对称加密算法 RSA，codec并未提供，jdk带的有一个
