The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Authen::Credential DSLIP: bdpOp description: abstraction of a credential userid: LCONS (Lionel Cons) chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption) communities:
similar: rationale: This module offers an abstraction of a credential, i.e. something that can be used to authenticate. It allows the creation and manipulation of credentials. In particular, it defines a standard string representation (so that credentials can be given to external programs as command line options), a standard structured representation (so that credentials can be stored in structured configuration files or using JSON) and "preparators" that can transform credentials into ready-to-use data for well known targets. enteredby: LCONS (Lionel Cons) enteredon: Tue Nov 22 07:56:26 2011 GMT The resulting entry would be: Authen:: ::Credential bdpOp abstraction of a credential LCONS Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=55800000_efd0e3891325b197&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=55800000_efd0e3891325b197&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1 Peek at the current permissions: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?pause99_peek_perms_by=me&pause99_peek_perms_query=Authen%3A%3ACredential
