Secure Salted Password Hasher

MediumHash TablesMathStrings

Problem

Implement two Python functions: one that hashes a plaintext password using a cryptographically secure random salt and repeated SHA-256 hashing, and another that verifies a plaintext password against the stored hash. The stored result should be a single string containing the iteration count, salt, and final digest so it can be verified later.
