Start with org.springframework.security.crypto.codec.Hex and the Java 17 java.util.HexFormat API, then compare how the Base64 codec class was deprecated. Search for Hex usages and determine the corresponding replacements. Done means the usages are replaced and Hex is deprecated consistently with Base64.
