PBKDF2 is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of
``key strengthening'' to make the complexity of a brute-force attack
arbitrarily high. PBKDF2 uses any other cryptographic hash or cipher (by
convention, usually HMAC-SHA1, but Crypt::PBKDF2 is fully pluggable), and
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.
Type: String, Default: HMACSHA1
The name of the default class that will provide PBKDF2's Pseudo-Random
Function (the backend hash). If the value starts with a +, the + will
be removed and the remainder will be taken as a fully-qualified package
name. Otherwise, the value will be appended to Crypt::PBKDF2::Hash::.
Type: HashRef, Default: {}
Arguments to be passed to the hash_class constructor.
Type: Object (must fulfill role the Crypt::PBKDF2::Hash manpage), Default: None.
It is also possible to provide a hash object directly; in this case the
hash_class and hash_args are ignored.
Type: Integer, Default: 1000.
The default number of iterations of the hashing function to use for the
generate and PBKDF2 methods.
Type: Integer.
The default size (in bytes, not bits) of the output hash. If a value isn't
provided, the output size depends on the hash_class / hasher
selected, and will equal the output size of the backend hash (e.g. 20 bytes
for HMACSHA1).
Type: Integer, Default: 4
The default salt length (in bytes) for the generate method.
Type: String (either ``crypt'' or ``ldap''), Default: ``ldap''
The hash format to generate. The ``ldap'' format is intended to be compatible with RFC2307, and looks like:
{X-PBKDF2}HMACSHA1:AAAD6A:8ODUPA==:1HSdSVVwlWSZhbPGO7GIZ4iUbrk=
While the ``crypt'' format is similar to the format used by the crypt()
function, except with more structured information in the second (salt) field.
It looks like:
$PBKDF2$HMACSHA1:1000:4q9OTg==$9Pb6bCRgnct/dga+4v4Lyv8x31s=
Versions of this module up to 0.110461 generated the ``crypt'' format, so set that if you want it. Current versions of this module will read either format, but the ``ldap'' format is preferred.
Type: Integer
The maximum password length to allow, for generate and verify functions. Allowing passwords of unlimited length can allow a denial-of-service attack in which an attacker asks the server to validate very large passwords.
For compatibility this attribute is unset by default, but it is recommended to set it to a reasonably small value like 100 -- large enough that users aren't discouraged from having secure passwords, but small enough to limit the computation needed to validate any one password.
Generates a hash for the given $password. If $salt is not provided,
a random salt with length salt_len will be generated.
There are two output formats available, depending on the setting of the
encoding attribute: ``ldap'' and ``crypt''; see the documentation for
encoding for more information.
Validates whether the password $password matches the hash string
$hashed. May throw an exception if the format of $hashed is invalid;
otherwise, returns true or false. Accepts both formats that the ``generate''
method can produce.
The raw PBKDF2 algorithm. Given the $salt and $password, returns the
raw binary hash.
As the PBKDF2 method, only the output is encoded with the MIME::Base64 manpage.
As the PBKDF2 method, only the output is encoded in hexadecimal.
Given a generated salt and hash, hash, generates output in the form generated by
generate and accepted by validate. Unlikely to be of much use to anyone
else.
Given a textual hash in the form generated by generate, decodes it and
returns a HashRef containing:
algorithm: A string representing the hash algorithm used. See
hasher_from_algorithm ($algo_str).
iterations: The number of iterations used.
salt: The salt, in raw binary form.
hash: The hash, in raw binary form.
This method is mostly for internal use, but it has been left public as it may come in handy. If the input data is invalid, this method may throw an exception.
Attempts to load and instantiate a Crypt::PBKDF2::Hash::* class based on
an algorithm string as produced by encode_string / generate.
Create a new object like this one, but with %params changed.
