NAME
Crypt::Passphrase::PBKDF2 - A PBKDF2 encoder for Crypt::Passphrase
VERSION
version 0.002
DESCRIPTION
This class implements a PBKDF2 encoder for Crypt::Passphrase. It allows for any SHA-1 or SHA-2 hash, and any number of iterations.
METHODS
new(%args)
This creates a new PBKDF2 encoder, it takes named parameters that are all optional. Note that some defaults are likely to change at some point in the future, as computers get progressively more powerful and cryptoanalysis gets more advanced.
type
This can be any of
sha1,sha224,sha256(default),sha384orsha512.iterations
This will be the iteration count, defaulting to
100000.salt_size
The size of the salt. This defaults to 16 bytes, which should be more than enough for any use-case.
hash_password($password)
This hashes the passwords with pbkdf2 according to the specified settings and a random salt (and will thus return a different result each time).
needs_rehash($hash)
This returns true if the hash uses a different cipher, or if any of the parameters is lower that desired by the encoder.
crypt_types()
This class supports the following crypt types: pbkdf2-sha1, pbkdf2-sha224, pbkdf2-sha225, pbkdf2-sha384 and pbkdf2-512.
verify_password($password, $hash)
This will check if a password matches a pbkdf2 hash.
