NAME

Crypt::Password::StretchedHash - simple library for password hashing and stretching

SYNOPSIS

This module provides Generation / Verification method for hashed password string. There are two methods to handle parameters simply.

use Crypt::Password::StretchedHash qw(
    crypt
    verify
);
use Digest::SHA;

# crypt
my $pwhash = crypt(
    password        => q{password},
    hash            => Digest::SHA->new("sha256"),
    salt            => q{salt},
    stretch_count   => 5000,
    format          => q{base64},
);

# verify
my $result = verify(
    password        => q{password},
    password_hash   => q{4hvvzqZio+l9vGifQ7xF2+FKiyWRcb4lV3OSo9PsfUw=},
    hash            => Digest::SHA->new("sha256"),
    salt            => q{salt},
    stretch_count   => 5000,
    format          => q{base64},
);

if you use class of the hash information(Crypt::Passwoed::SaltedHash::HashInfo), there are two methods to generate/verify string for DB Store.

use Your::Password::HashInfo;
use Crypt::Password::StretchedHash qw(
    crypt_with_hashinfo
    verify_with_hashinfo
);


my $hash_info = Your::Password::HashInfo->new;
# crypt
my $password = ...;
my $pwhash_with_hashinfo = crypt_with_hashinfo(
    password    => $password,
    hash_info   => $hash_info,
);


# verify
my $password = ...;
my $pwhash_with_hashinfo = ...;
my $result = verify_with_hashinfo(
    password        => $password,
    password_hash   => $pwhash_with_hashinfo,
    hash_info   => $hash_info,
);

DESCRIPTION

Crypt::Password::StretchedHash is simple library for password hashing and stretching. This module is available in generation and validation of the stretched password hash.

METHODS

crypt( %params ) : String

Generates stretched password hash. This uses the following hash algorithm.

for (1..$params{stretch_count}) {
    $hash->add( $pwhash, $params{password}, $salt );
    $pwhash = $hash->digest;
}

• $params{password}

  This is password string.

• $params{hash}

  This is a hash function. This value must be the object of Digest::SHA or Digest::SHA3.

• $params{salt}

  This is salt string.

• $params{stretch_count}

  This is stretching count. The value will depend on a kind of hash function and the server load.

• $params{format}

  This value is optional. If it has none, the password hash is returned with a binary string. If it has "hex", the password hash is returned with hexadecimal representation. If it has "base64", the password hash is returned with base64 representation.

verify( %params ) : Int

Verifies stretched password hash. This compares the value of $params{password_hash} with the generated using crypt method.

crypt_with_hashinfo( %params ) : String

Generates stretched password hash with hash information.

• $params{password}

  This is password string.

• $params{hash_info}

  This is a hash information. You have to inherit Crypt::Password::StretchedHash::HashInfo.

verify_with_hashinfo( %params ) : Int

Verifies stretched password hash with hash information. This compares the value of $params{password_hash} with the generated using crypt method.

• $params{password}

  This is password string.

• $params{password_hash}

  This is hashed password to be compared.

• $params{hash_info}

  This is a hash information. You have to inherit Crypt::Password::StretchedHash::HashInfo.
