module ActiveSupport
  # +MessageVerifier+ makes it easy to generate and verify messages which are
  # signed to prevent tampering.
  #
  # This is useful for cases like remember-me tokens and auto-unsubscribe links
  # where the session store isn't suitable or available.
  #
  # Remember Me:
  #   cookies[:remember_me] = @verifier.generate([@user.id, 2.weeks.from_now])
  #
  # In the authentication filter:
  #
  #   id, time = @verifier.verify(cookies[:remember_me])
  #   if Time.now < time
  #     self.current_user = User.find(id)
  #   end
  #
  # By default it uses Marshal to serialize the message. If you want to use
  # another serialization method, you can set the serializer in the options
  # hash upon initialization:
  #
  #   @verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new('s3Krit', serializer: YAML)
  #
  # +MessageVerifier+ creates HMAC signatures using SHA1 hash algorithm by default.
  # If you want to use a different hash algorithm, you can change it by providing
  # +:digest+ key as an option while initializing the verifier:
  #
  #   @verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new('s3Krit', digest: 'SHA256')
  #
  # === Confining messages to a specific purpose
  #
  # By default any message can be used throughout your app. But they can also be
  # confined to a specific +:purpose+.
  #
  #   token = @verifier.generate("this is the chair", purpose: :login)
  #
  # Then that same purpose must be passed when verifying to get the data back out:
  #
  #   @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :login)    # => "this is the chair"
  #   @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :shipping) # => nil
  #   @verifier.verified(token)                     # => nil
  #
  #   @verifier.verify(token, purpose: :login)      # => "this is the chair"
  #   @verifier.verify(token, purpose: :shipping)   # => ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
  #   @verifier.verify(token)                       # => ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
  #
  # Likewise, if a message has no purpose it won't be returned when verifying with
  # a specific purpose.
  #
  #   token = @verifier.generate("the conversation is lively")
  #   @verifier.verified(token, purpose: :scare_tactics) # => nil
  #   @verifier.verified(token)                          # => "the conversation is lively"
  #
  #   @verifier.verify(token, purpose: :scare_tactics)   # => ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature
  #   @verifier.verify(token)                            # => "the conversation is lively"
  #
  # === Making messages expire
  #
  # By default messages last forever and verifying one year from now will still
  # return the original value. But messages can be set to expire at a given
  # time with +:expires_in+ or +:expires_at+.
  #
  #   @verifier.generate(parcel, expires_in: 1.month)
  #   @verifier.generate(doowad, expires_at: Time.now.end_of_year)
  #
  # Then the messages can be verified and returned up to the expire time.
  # Thereafter, the +verified+ method returns +nil+ while +verify+ raises
  # <tt>ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier::InvalidSignature</tt>.
  #
  # === Rotating keys
  #
  # MessageVerifier also supports rotating out old configurations by falling
  # back to a stack of verifiers. Call +rotate+ to build and add a verifier to
  # so either +verified+ or +verify+ will also try verifying with the fallback.
  #
  # By default any rotated verifiers use the values of the primary
  # verifier unless specified otherwise.
  #
  # You'd give your verifier the new defaults:
  #
  #   verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new(@secret, digest: "SHA512", serializer: JSON)
  #
  # Then gradually rotate the old values out by adding them as fallbacks. Any message
  # generated with the old values will then work until the rotation is removed.
  #
  #   verifier.rotate old_secret          # Fallback to an old secret instead of @secret.
  #   verifier.rotate digest: "SHA256"    # Fallback to an old digest instead of SHA512.
  #   verifier.rotate serializer: Marshal # Fallback to an old serializer instead of JSON.
  #
  # Though the above would most likely be combined into one rotation:
  #
  #   verifier.rotate old_secret, digest: "SHA256", serializer: Marshal
