HTTP Authentication Scheme: Digest
The Digest scheme is based on a simple challenge-response paradigm. The Digest scheme challenges using a nonce value and might indicate that username hashing is supported. A valid response contains an unkeyed digest of the username, the password, the given nonce value, the HTTP method, and the requested URI. (RFC 7616: HTTP Digest Access Authentication)
