* Package name : libcrypt-pbkdf2-perl Version : 0.133330 Upstream Author : Andrew Rodland <[email protected]> * URL : http://metacpan.org/release/Crypt-PBKDF2 * License : GPL-1+ or Artistic Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl implementation of PBKDF2 password hash PBKDF2 (part of the PKCS#5 standard) is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. This module supports SHA-1 and SHA-2 as the underlying hash functions natively and can also use arbitrary Digest-compatible classes. It allows for an arbitrary number of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32 - 1 times the size of the output of the backend hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
