The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Authen::Passphrase::SaltedSHA512
DSLIP: Rdphp
description: Create and verify salted SHA512 passphrases.
userid: DAVIDO (David J. Oswald)
chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption)
communities:
similar:
Authen::Passphrase::SaltedDigest
rationale:
This module subclasses Authen::Passphrase::SaltedDigest, and in so
doing selects sensible defaults, a cryptographically strong random
salt generation scheme, and a clean and simple user interface.
The defaults chosen, combined with the salt generation scheme
eliminate the guesswork that one might go through in selecting from
the myriad options. The salt generation uses a high quality random
number generator in building a random salt of equal length to the
digest hash, maximizing entropy.
In addition to an object oriented user interface that will be
familiar to users of other Authen::Passphrase::xyz plugins, this
module also provides a simple "functions" interface for those who
desire a minimal level of complexity without diminishing
effectiveness.
As a plugin for the Authen::Passphrase module, and an immediate
subclass of Authen::Passphrase::SaltedDigest which selects the
SHA-512 algorithm, Authen::Passphrase::SaltedSHA512 describes well
what it offers and does.
